Abstract: We propose a framework for the specification of extensible database systems. A particular goal is to implement a software component for parsing and rule-based optimizatio...
Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
We investigate the construction of linear operators representing the semantics of probabilistic programming languages expressed via probabilistic transition systems. Finite transi...
ion suffices ("decide which type you want and provide a full set of operations for each type"). If the application domain is, say, the administration of a university, the...
In this paper we propose the use of process algebras as powerful frameworks for model-based diagnosis. In fact, they provide machinery and tools for building component-oriented mod...
