Designing component-based application that meets performance requirements remains a challenging problem, and usually requires a prototype to be constructed to benchmark performanc...
Query optimizers that explore a search space exhaustively using transformation rules usually apply all possible rules on each alternative, and stop when no new information is prod...
We describe a flexible approach to automated reasoning, where non-theorems can be automatically altered to produce proved results which are related to the original. This is achieve...
Abstract. Starting from algebraic properties that enable guessing lowentropy secrets, we formalize guessing rules for symbolic verification. The rules are suited for both off-line ...
The aim of this work is the design of a framework for the revision of knowledge in abductive reasoning agents, based on interaction. We address issues such as: how to exploit knowl...
