In this paper we describe a tools environment which automates the validation and maintenance of a requirements model written in many-sorted first order logic. We focus on: a trans...
First order reasoning about hyperintegers can prove things about sets of integers. In the author's paper Nonstandard Arithmetic and Reverse Mathematics, Bulletin of Symbolic L...
We show that for random bit strings, Up(n), with probability, p = 1 2 , the firstorder quantifier depth D(Up(n)) needed to distinguish non-isomorphic structures is (lg lg n), with...
Self-adapting software adapts its behavior in an autonomic way, by dynamically adding, suppressing and recomposing components, and by the use of computational reflection. One way t...
Marx and de Rijke have shown that the navigational core of the w3c XML query language XPath is not first-order complete ? that is it cannot express every query definable in firsto...
