Abstract. In formal approaches, messages sent over a network are usually modeled by terms together with an equational theory, axiomatizing the properties of the cryptographic funct...
Abstract. Contextual ontologies are ontologies that characterize a concept by a set of properties that vary according to context. Contextual ontologies are now crucial for users wh...

In real-life temporal scenarios, uncertainty and preferences are often essential, coexisting aspects. We present a formalism where temporal constraints with both preferences and un...

Abstract. The continuing trend towards more sophisticated technical applications results in an increasing demand for high quality software for complex, safety-critical systems. Des...
High-level formalisms such as stochastic Petri nets can be used to model complex systems. Analysis of logical and numerical properties of these models often requires the generatio...
