This paper presents mathematical results that can sometimes be used to simplify the task of reasoning about a default theory, by \splitting it into parts." These so-called Sp...
A critical view of the alleged significance of Belnap four-valued logic for reasoning under inconsistent and incomplete information is provided. The difficulty lies in the confusi...
Current superscalar microprocessors’ performance depends on its frequency and the number of useful instructions that can be processed per cycle (IPC). In this paper we propose a...
Stochastic process algebras such as PEPA provide ample support for the component-based construction of models. Tools compute the numerical solution of these models; however, the st...
The alternating xpoint of a logic program with negation is de ned constructively. The underlying idea is monotonically to build up a set of negative conclusions until the least xp...
