1 This paper provides a new, generalized approach to the problem of encoding information as vectors of binary digits. We furnish a formal definition for the Boolean constrained enc...
Default logic, one of the best known formalisms to express common sense reasoning, does not allow to reason by cases in its standard formulations. We propose a natural and easy way...
When provingthe correctness of algorithmsin distributed systems, one generally considers safety conditions and liveness conditions. The Input Output I O automaton model and its ti...
The states of a computing system bear information and change time, while its events bear time and change information. We develop a primitive algebraic model of this duality of tim...
The notion of assumption-based framework generalises and re nes the use of abduction to give a formalisation of non-monotonic reasoning. In this framework, a sentence is a non-mon...
