Most operations of the relational algebra or SQL require a sorted stream of tuples for efficient processing. Therefore, processing complex relational queries relies on efficient a...
We observe that equivalence is not a robust concept in the presence of numerical information - such as probabilities - in the model. We develop a metric analogue of weak bisimulat...
Recent work has shown that we can dramatically improve the performance of computer games and simulations through declarative processing: Character AI can be written in an imperati...

Abstract. In this paper we consider the relationship between refinement-oriented specification and specifications using a temporal logic. We investigate the extent to which one can...
vices provide an important abstract layer on top of heterogeneous components (hardware and software) that take part into a grid environment. In this scenario, applications, like sc...
