Abstract. Software applications are inevitably concerned with data integrity, whether the data is stored in a database, files, or program memory. An integrity guard is code execut...
Abstract. We present a cooperation technique using an accurate management of nogoods to solve a hard real-time problem which consists in assigning periodic tasks to processors in t...
The paper introduces value precedence on integer and set sequences. A useful application of the notion is in breaking symmetries of indistinguishable values, an important class of ...
Abstract. We show how to generate well-founded and stable term orderings based on polynomial interpretations over the real numbers. Monotonicity (another usual requirement in termi...
Abstract. We define a basic calculus for name management, which is obtained by an appropriate combination of three ingredients: extensible records (in a simplified form), names (...
