Abstract. We show that the structures of binding algebras and Σmonoids by Fiore, Plotkin and Turi are sound and complete models of Klop’s Combinatory Reduction Systems (CRSs). T...
A convenient method for defining a quasi-ordering, such as those used for proving termination of rewriting, is to choose the minimum of a set of quasi-orderings satisfying some d...
Abstract. As a window into the subject, we recount some of the history (and geography) of two mature, challenging, partially open, partially closed problems in the theory of rewrit...
Abstract In order to extend the modeling capabilities of rewriting systems, it is rather natural to consider that the firing of rules can be subject to some probabilistic laws. Co...
In this paper, we consider the monadic second order logic (MSO) and two of its extensions, namely Counting MSO (CMSO) and Presburger MSO (PMSO), interpreted over unranked and unord...
Learning useful and predictable features from past workloads and exploiting them well is a major source of improvement in many operating system problems. We review known parallel ...
Parallel I/O needs to keep pace with the demand of high performance computing applications on systems with ever-increasing speed. Exploiting high-end interconnect technologies to ...
A key step in program optimization is the determination of optimal values for code optimization parameters such as cache tile sizes and loop unrolling factors. One approach, which...
