In this paper, we develop a general theory of fixed point combinators, in higher-order logic equipped with Hilbert’s epsilon operator. This combinator allows for a direct and e...
Abstract. This paper introduces Higher-Order Bayesian Networks, a probabilistic reasoning formalism which combines the efficient reasoning mechanisms of Bayesian Networks with the...
Some search problems are most directly specified by boolean combinations of pseudo-boolean constraints. We study a logic PL(PB) whose formulas are of this form, and design local-s...
A regular circuit structure called a Whirlpool PLA (WPLA) is proposed. It is suitable for the implementation of finite state machines as well as combinational logic. A WPLA is ...
Run-time monitoring of temporal properties and assertions is used for testing and as a component of execution-based model checking techniques. Traditional run-time monitoring howev...
