A Temporal Mereology for Distinguishing between Integral Objects and Portions of Stuff
We develop a formal theory of mereology that includes relations that change over time. We show how this theory formalizes reasoning over domains of material objects, which include...

The Role of Decidability in First Order Separations over Classes of Finite Structures
We establish that the decidability of the first order theory of a class of finite structures ¢ is a simple and useful condition for guaranteeing that the expressive power of FO...
