Induction and abduction are well known non-deductive inferences. We shall propose that design is also another form of non-deductive inference, and, based on Barwise and Seligmanā...
An algorithm is proposed for the purpose of optimizing the availability of files to an operating system prior to their being required during execution by a running system. This al...
Introducing priorities on rules in rewriting increases their expressive power and helps to limit computations. Priority rewriting is used in rule-based programming as well as in f...
We deļ¬ne a class of special function inequalities that contains many classical examples, such as the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, and introduce a proving procedure based on induct...
Abstract. Generic functions are deļ¬ned by induction on the structural representation of types. As a consequence, by deļ¬ning just a single generic operation, one acquires this o...
