We give faster algorithms for two methods of reducing the number of states in nondeterministic finite automata. The first uses equivalences and the second uses preorders. We deve...
An object-oriented approach to program specification and verification was developed by Ole-Johan Dahl with the long-term Abel project. Essential here was the idea of reasoning abou...
del based on (overlap) graphs. The latter is more abstract because the translation of legal strings into overlap graphs is not injective. In this paper we consider and solve the ov...
Abstract. This paper is on the automation of knowledge-intensive tasks in engineering domains; here, the term “task” relates to analysis and synthesis tasks, such as diagnosis ...
Abstract. Traditionally, software development teams follow Tayloristic approaches favoring division of labor and, hence, the use of role-based teams. Role-based teams require the t...
