Signatures detect changes to the data objects. Numerous schemes a known, e.g., the popular hash based SHA-1 standard. We propose a nov scheme we call algebraic signatures. We use ...
We present a strategy for restricting the application of the inference rule paramodulation. The strategy applies to problems in first-order logic with equality and is designed to ...
In this paper we present how refactoring of object-oriented programs can be accomplished by using refinement. Our approach is based on algebraic laws of an object-oriented languag...
In a previous paper, we developed an algebraic theory of threads, interleaving of threads, and interaction of threads with services. In the current paper, we assume that the thread...
Abstract. Formal semantics for XQuery with side-effects have been proposed in [13, 16]. We propose a different semantics which is better suited for database compilation. We substan...
