We propose a frame structure that is augmented with belief functions to model knowledge in a spoken dialog system. In addition we propose methods to combine belief functions in the...
Our goal is to identify families of relations that are useful for reasoning about software. We describe such families using decidable quantifier-free classes of logical constraints...
The use of genotypic populations is necessary for adaptation in Evolutionary Algorithms. We use a technique called form-invariant commutation to study the immediate effect of evol...
Soundness proofs of program logics such as Hoare logics and type systems are often made easier by decorating the operational semantics with information that is useful in the proof...
This paper shows how classic inductive assertions can be used in conjunction with an operational semantics to prove partial correctness properties of programs. The method imposes o...
