In recent years Arvind's Group at MIT has shown the usefulness of term rewriting theory for the specification of processor architectures. In their approach processors specifi...
We propose a new method for generating BDDs from hardware algorithm descriptions written in a programming language. Our system can deal with control structures, such as conditiona...
Critical software most often requires an independent validation and verification (IVV). IVV is usually performed by domain experts, who are not familiar with specific, many times ...
The goal of this article is to formalize Object Role Modeling (ORM) using the DLR description logic. This would enable automated reasoning on the formal properties of ORM diagrams,...
In this chapter, we are concerned with the relationship between Description Logics and other formalisms, regardless of whether they were designed for knowledge representation issu...
