Computing least common subsumers in description logics is an important reasoning service useful for a number of applications. As shown in the literature, this reasoning service ca...
We introduce a logical verification framework for checking functional properties of service-oriented applications formally specified using the service specification language COWS. ...
Many applications would benefit if media objects such as images could be selected and classified (or clustered) such that "conceptually similar" images are grouped toget...
Open component architectures, such as CORBA, allow software systems to be composed of independent components. The behavior of components is described with a mixture of an interfac...
