Preferences and uncertainty occur in many real-life problems. The theory of possibility is one way of dealing with uncertainty, which allows for easy integration with fuzzy prefer...
This paper is an attempt to develop a unifying algebraic framework for extensional theories capturing formally the informal concept of extensionality, as well as a generic automate...
Program compilation can be formally defined as a sequence of equivalence-preserving transformations, or refinements, from highlevel language programs to assembler code. Recent mo...
Java's design goals of portability, safety, and ubiquity make it a potentially ideal language for large-scale heterogeneous computing. One of the remaining challenges is to c...
