Answer-set programming (ASP) has emerged recently as a viable programming paradigm well attuned to search problems in AI, constraint satisfaction and combinatorics. Propositional ...
We give an axiomatic treatment of fixed-point operators in categories. A notion of iteration operator is defined, embodying the equational properties of iteration theories. We p...
We give examples of situations where formal specifications of procedures in the standard pre/postcondition style become lengthy, cumbersome and difficult to change, a problem whic...

A necessary step in the implementation of three-dimensional spatial data types for spatial database systems and GIS is the development of robust geometric primitives. The authors ...
A class of database programs exist which are required to operate over an infinite number of types; included in this class are object browsers and query tools. The types over which...
