Abstract. We explore the expressive power of the formalism called Natural Operational Semantics, NOS, introduced by Burstall and Honsell for defining the operational semantics of ...
We consider the class of finite-state programs executed by an unbounded number of replicated threads communicating via shared variables. The thread-state reachability problem for t...
The focus of this work is on the problem of feature extraction for vehicle detection. Feature extraction is a key point of pattern recognition. In particular, we propose using imp...

We propose a novel a framework for deriving approximations for intractable probabilistic models. This framework is based on a free energy (negative log marginal likelihood) and ca...
We seek to support the development of open, distributed applications from patible software abstractions. In order to rigorously specify these abstractions, we are elaborating a for...
