We investigate model theoretic characterisations of the expressive power of modal logics in terms of bisimulation invariance. The paradigmatic result of this kind is van Benthemā...
We provide a uniform solution to the problem of synthesizing a ļ¬nite-state distributed system. An instance of the synthesis problem consists of a system architecture and a tempo...
Number Decision Diagrams (NDD) are the automatabased symbolic representation for manipulating sets of integer vectors encoded as strings of digit vectors (least or most signiļ¬ca...
In recent work Baader has shown that a certain description logic with conjunction, existential quantiļ¬cation and with circular deļ¬nitions has a polynomial time subsumption pro...
We consider unranked trees, that have become an active subject of study recently due to XML applications, and characterize commonly used fragments of ļ¬rstorder (FO) and monadic ...
