An advanced Self-Timed Reduced Instruction Set Computer (ST-RISC) architecture is described. It is designed hierarchically, and is formally specified functionally at the various ...
The verification problem for action logic programs with non-terminating behaviour is in general undecidable. In this paper, we consider a restricted setting in which the problem be...
Presently, there is no specialized language for complex integrity constraints description in XML documents. In this paper we present a language that combines first-order logic toge...
We present a novel approach to automatically reformulating constraints defined as tables of allowed assignments to variables. Constraints of this form are common in a variety of se...
