This paper formally introduces several stability characterizations of £xtured three-dimensional rigid bodies initially at rest and in unilateral contact with Coulomb friction. The...
We develop an imperative calculus that provides a formal model for both single and mixin inheritance. By introducing classes and mixins as the basic object-oriented constructs in a...
Several relation-algebraic algorithms for computing the cut completion of a partially ordered set are formally developed and afterwards generalized to the case of concept lattices....
The ability to generate effective evaluative arguments is critical for systems intended to advise and persuade their users. We have developed a system that generates evaluative ar...
