In this paper, we propose a definition of goal achievability: given a basic action theory describing an initial state of the world and some primitive actions available to a robot...
This paper proposes a framework for modeling and controlling systems described by interdependent physical laws, logic rules, and operating constraints, denoted as mixed logical dy...
Abstract State Machines (ASMs) provide a sound mathematical basis for the specification and verification of systems. An application of the ASM methodology to the verification of a ...
Odometers or “adding machines” are usually introduced in the context of positional numeration systems built on a strictly increasing sequence of integers. We generalize this no...
The traditional computational devices and models, such as the von Neumann architecture or the Turing machine, are strongly influenced by concepts of central control and perfectio...
