Abstract. Different mutation operators have been proposed in evolutionary programming. However, each operator may be efficient in solving a subset of problems, but will fail in an...
Knowledge engineering has developed fine tools for maintaining the integrity of knowledge bases. These tools may be applied to the maintenance of conventional programs particularly...
Modern information retrieval systems need the capability to reason about the knowledge conveyed by text bases. In this paper a methodology to automatically create ontologies and cl...
We present a new approach to the polymorphic typing of data accepting in-place modification in ML-like languages. This approach is based on restrictions over type generalization,...
The adapter design pattern [1], commonly used for integration and evolution in component-based systems, is originally described by roles. In classbased systems, the conventional re...
