Among the formalisms for qualitative spatial reasoning, the Region Connection Calculus and its variant, the constraint algebra RCC8, have received particular attention recently. A...
We describe the problem of mining possibilistic set-valued rules in large relational tables containing categorical attributes taking a finite number of values. An example of such a...
This work is motivated by the existence of two useful but quite different knowledge representation formalisms, the situation calculus due to McCarthy, and the logic OL of only kno...
We show how to implement a calculus with higher-order subtyping and subkinding by replacing uses of implicit subsumption with explicit coercions. To ensure this can be done, a pol...
Compositional semantics allow to reason about programs in an incremental way, thus providing the formal base for the development of modular data-flow analyses. The major drawback ...
