Abstract. The Web and the Semantic Web, as we see it, can be understood as a “living organism” combining autonomously evolving data sources, each of them possibly reacting to e...
We introduce a general formalism of production inference relations that posses both a standard monotonic semantics and a natural nonmonotonic semantics. The resulting nonmonotonic...
File I/O data is interpreted by high performance parallel/distributed applications mostly as a sequence of arbitrary bits. This leads to the situation where data is ’volatile’...
The Semantic Web is a “living organism”, which combines autonomously evolving data sources/knowledge repositories. This dynamic character of the Semantic Web requires (declarat...
Object-oriented languages come with pre-defined composition mechanisms, such as inheritance, object composition, or delegation, each characterized by a certain set of composition...
