A distributed anticipatory system formulation of knowledge acquisition and transfer processes is presented which provides scientific foundations for knowledge engineering …
This paper generalizes many-sorted algebra (MSA) to order-sorted algebra (OSA) by allowing a partial ordering relation on the set of sorts. This supports abstract data types with …

OBJ 3 is a new implementation of the OBJ language, with a new efficient operational semantics based on order-sorted term-rewriting. OBJ is a declarative language, with …
Knowledge acquisition tools can be associated with knowledge-based application problems and problem-solving methods. This descriptive approach provides a framework for …
This paper publicly reveals, motivates, and surveys the results of an ambitious hidden agenda for applying algebra to software engineering. The paper reviews selected literature …
