Abstract. This paper presents a method which allows for merging beliefs expressed thanks to logic programming with stable model semantics. This method is based on the syntactic mer...
Abstract. A new logic is proposed for reasoning about quantum systems. The logic embodies the postulates of quantum physics and it was designed from the semantics upwards by identi...
Game semantics provides an interactive point of view on proofs, which enables one to describe precisely their dynamical behavior during cut elimination, by considering formulas as ...
The file is a well-understood and very simple abstraction, which has been successfully used in both centralized and distributed systems. However, files are not expressive enough t...
