A definition of types in an information system is given from ld abstractions through data constructs, schema and definitions to physical data values. Category theory suggests tha...
agent-oriented system. We show the complexity to be linear time for one of these logics and polynomial time for another, thus providing encouraging results with respect to the prac...
This paper describes some of the features of a sophisticated language and environment designed for experimentation with unification-oriented linguistic descriptions. The system, w...
Tag handling accounts for a substantial amount of execution cost in latently typed languages such as Common LISP and Scheme, especially on architectures that provide no special ha...
