If a fixed exponentially decreasing probability distribution function is used to model every object’s lifetime, then the age of an object gives no information about its future ...
Information integration systems have to cope with the different and limited query interfaces of the underlying information sources. First, the integration systems need description...
We consider the problem of simulation preorder/equivalence between infinite-state processes and finite-state ones. We prove that simulation preorder (in both directions) and simu...
Polygonal hybrid systems (SPDI) are a subclass of planar hybrid automata which can be represented by piecewise constant differential inclusions. The reachability problem as well as...
We consider a specific kind of Abstract State Machines. It is shown how the machines can be used to provide a low-level formal semantics for a tiny object-oriented language, inclu...
