Abstract. We show that a recently developed theory of positive permission based on the notion of derogation is hampered by a triviality result that indicates a problem with the und...
Abstract. Using mathematical morphology on formulas introduced recently by Bloch and Lang (Proceedings of IPMU’2000) we define two new explanatory relations. Their logical behav...
Computer algebra systems typically drop some degenerate cases when evaluating expressions, e.g., x=x becomes 1 dropping the case x = 0. We claim that it is feasible in practice to...
We specify the black box behavior of dataflow components by characterizing the relation between their input and their output histories. We distinguish between three main classes of...
A probabilistic learning model for vague queries and missing or imprecise information in databases is described. Instead of retrieving only a set of answers, our approach yields a...
