In this paper, we present a syntax-directed termination and reduction checker for higher-order logic programs. The reduction checker verifies parametric higher-order subterm orderi...
We consider a resource access control scenario in an open multi-agent system. We specify a mutable set of rules to determine how resource allocation is decided, and minimally assum...
Active XML is a high-level specification language tailored to dataintensive, distributed, dynamic Web services. Active XML is based on XML documents with embedded function calls. ...
Diagnosability is an essential property that determines how accurate any diagnostic reasoning can be on a system given any sequence of observations. An unobservable fault event in...
We introduce the class of Rigid Tree Automata (RTA), an extension of standard bottom-up automata on ranked trees with distinguished states called rigid. Rigid states define a res...
