Abstract. Goguen emphasized long ago that colimits are how to compose systems [7]. This paper corroborates and elaborates Goguen's vision by presenting a variety of situations...
The exogenous approach to enriching any given base logic for probabilistic and quantum reasoning is brought into the realm of institutions. The theory of institutions helps in capt...
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the first-order theory of a finitely presented abelian lattice-ordered group to be decidable. We also show that if the number of gen...
Abstract. We introduce a mathematical framework for black-box software testing of functional correctness, based on concepts from stochastic process theory. This framework supports ...
Data Flow Analysis as expressed by Monotone Frameworks is often associated with classical imperative programming languages and has played a crucial role in the efficient implementa...
