An incremental method for generating prime implicants/implicates
Alex Kean,George K. Tsiknis +1 more
TL;DR: The correctness proof and complexity analysis of the incremental method and the role of prime implicants in the CMS is mentioned and the intricacy of subsumptions in the incremental process is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assumption Based Reasoning and Clause Management Systems
Alex Kean,George K. Tsiknis +1 more
TL;DR: This paper provides a complete formalization of the principle of truth maintenance under the general title of assumption‐based reasoning and presents an extended example on Boolean circuit diagnosis to exemplify these ideas.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Turning exams into a learning experience
TL;DR: In a two-stage exam, students write an exam individually, then they rewrite the same exam in collaboration with three or four other students, to encourage peer instruction and promote learning even during the exams.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clause management systems (CMS)
Alex Kean,George K. Tsiknis +1 more
TL;DR: This paper provides an extension to the study of the clause management system (CMS) proposed by Reiter and de Kleer and shows two logic‐based diagnostic reasoning paradigms aided by the CMS to exemplify the functionality of the CMS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Logical Foundations for Programming Semantics
TL;DR: The paper provides an introduction to a natural deduction based set theory, NaDSet, and illustrates its use in programming semantics, and the use of Na DSet for programming semantics is illustrated for a simple flow diagram language that has been used to illustrate the principles of denotational semantics.
