We present a decision procedure for the description logic SHIQ based on the basic superposition calculus, and show that it runs in exponential time for unary coding of numbers. To...

The main goal of this paper is to apply rewriting termination technology --enjoying a quite mature set of termination results and tools-- to the problem of proving automatically t...
We develop a behavioural theory of distributed programs in the presence of failures such as nodes crashing and links breaking. The framework we use is that of D, a language in whi...
A variant of the Mobile Ambient calculus, called Boundary Ambients, is introduced, supporting the modelling of multi-level security policies. Ambients that may guarantee to proper...
A previous paper introduced eternity variables as an alternative to the prophecy variables of Abadi and Lamport and proved the formalism to be semantically complete: every simulat...
Timed Petri nets and timed automata are two standard models for the analysis of real-time systems. In this paper, we prove that they are incomparable for the timed language equival...
We introduce two resource-bounded Baire category notions on small complexity classes such as P, QUASIPOLY, SUBEXP and PSPACE and on probabilistic classes such as BPP, which differ...
