Abstract. Narrowing is a method for solving equations in the equational theories of term rewriting systems. Unification and rewriting, the central operations in narrowing, are ofte...
Abstract. Reasoning on programs and automated deduction often require the manipulation of in nite sets of objects. Many formalisms have been proposed to handle such sets. Here we d...
—With the advent of the Internet, we have entered the age of ubiquitous systems that will need to be able to communicate, establish criteria for measurement and then perform thes...
An emerging tapestry of computations will soon integrate systems around the globe. It will evolve without central control. Its complexity will be vast. We need new ideas, tools an...
We introduce a predictive concept recognition methodology for description logics based on a new closed terminology assumption. During knowledge engineering, our system adopts the ...
