— In this paper we employ the theory of partially ordered sets to model and analyze a class of decentralized control problems. We show that posets provide a natural way of modeli...
Abstract-- We consider a hybrid knowledge representation system for ontological knowledge bases in order to maintain knowledge consistency between taxonomic knowledge and assertion...
We give a denotational framework (a "meta model") within which certain properties of models of computation can be understood and compared. It describes concurrent proces...
Systems and protocols combining concurrency and infinite state space occur quite often in practice, but are very difficult to verify automatically. At the same time, if the system ...
For the whole class of linear term rewriting systems and for each integer k, we define k-bounded rewriting as a restriction of the usual notion of rewriting. We show that the k-bo...
