The goal of this paper is to analyse semantics of algorithms with explicit continuous time with further aim to nd approaches to automatize model checking in high level, easily unde...
The dynamic behavior of rule-based systems (like term rewriting systems 24], process algebras 27], and so on) can be traditionally determined in two orthogonal ways. Either operati...
We give examples of situations where formal specifications of procedures in the standard pre/postcondition style become lengthy, cumbersome and difficult to change, a problem whic...

Stevens, Myers, and Constantine introduced the notion of cohesion, an ordinal scale of seven levels that describes the degree to which the actions performed by a module contribute...
The goal of this paper is to model an agent who dislikes large choice sets because of the “cost of thinking” involved in choosing from them. We take as a primitive a preferenc...
