The Hyper Tableaux Calculus with Equality and an Application to Finite Model Computation
In most theorem proving applications, a proper treatment of equational theories or equality is mandatory. In this paper we show how to integrate a modern treatment of equality in ...

The Situation Calculus: A Case for Modal Logic
Abstract The situation calculus is one of the most established formalisms for reasoning about action and change. In this paper we will review the basics of Reiter’s version of th...

A rewriting calculus for cyclic higher-order term graphs
Introduced at the end of the nineties, the Rewriting Calculus (ρ-calculus, for short) is a simple calculus that fully integrates term-rewriting and λ-calculus. The rewrite rules...

A Concurrent Object Calculus: Reduction and Typing
We obtain a new formalism for concurrent object-oriented languages by extending Abadi and Cardelli's imperative object calculus with operators for concurrency from the -calc...

Comparing Calculi of Explicit Substitutions with Eta-reduction
The past decade has seen an explosion of work on calculi of explicit substitutions. Numerous work has illustrated the usefulness of these calculi for practical notions like the im...

Dijkstra-Scholten Predicate Calculus: Concepts and Misconceptions
The paper focusses on the logical backgrounds of the Dijkstra-Scholten program development style for correct programs. For proving the correctness of a program (i.e. the fact that...

A Refinement Calculus for Shared-Variable Parallel and Distributed Programming
Parallel computers have not yet had the expected impact on mainstream computing. Parallelism adds a level of complexity to the programming task that makes it very error-prone. More...

A Calculus for "Environment-Aware" Computation
We present a calculus for modelling "environment-aware" computations, that is computations that adapt their behaviour according to the capabilities of the environment. T...

An abductive event calculus planner
In 1969 Cordell Green presented his seminal description of planning as theorem proving with the situation calculus. The most pleasing feature of Green's account was the negli...
