Verification methods for memory-manipulating C programs need to address not only well-typed programs that respect invariants such as the split heap memory model, but also programs...
Inferences about speech acts are often conditional, nonmonotonic, and involve the issue of time. Most agent communication languages, however, ignore these issues, due to the dif...
Transaction-time temporal databases and query languages provide a solid framework for analyzing properties of queries over data streams. In this paper we focus on issues connected...
A data tree is a tree where each node has a label from a finite set, and a data value from a possibly infinite set. We consider data trees whose depth is bounded beforehand. By d...
We define an inference system to capture explanations based on causal statements, using an ontology in the form of an IS-A hierarchy. We first introduce a simple logical language...
