Termination is an important and well-studied property for logic programs. However, almost all approaches for automated termination analysis focus on definite logic programs, where...
The emergence of database languages with side effects, notably for XML, raises significant challenges for database compilers and optimizers. In this paper, we extend an algebra fo...
Threads as contained in a thread algebra emerge from the behavioral abstraction from programs in an appropriate program algebra. Threads may make use of services such as stacks, an...
Abstract. Many NP-complete problems can be encoded in the answer set semantics of logic programs in a very concise way, where the encoding reflects the typical “guess and check...
: We give the main definitions and results of a new framework for algebraic specifications: the framework of label algebras. The main idea underlying our approach is that the sem...
