On Semantic Issues in Story Diagrams
"... Story Diagrams provided by Fujaba are a powerful visual formalism for the specification of structural transformations. Their visual appearance is based on UML activity and UML collaboration diagrams. The semantics draws on graph trans-formation systems and therefore has a solid foundation. How-ever, ..."

1.1 The Semantic Issue
"... Abstract. A Semantic Link Network (SLN) consists of nodes (entities, features, concepts, schemas or communities) and semantic links between nodes. This paper proposes an autonomous Semantic Link Network formalism to support intelligent applications on large-scale network. The formalism integrates th ..."

Logical foundations of object-oriented and frame-based languages
- JOURNAL OF THE ACM
, 1995
"... We propose a novel formalism, called Frame Logic (abbr., F-logic), that accounts in a clean and declarative fashion for most of the structural aspects of object-oriented and frame-based languages. These features include object identity, complex objects, inheritance, polymorphic types, query methods, ..."

that come from object-oriented programming have direct representation in F-logic; other, secondary aspects of this paradigm are easily modeled as well. The paper also discusses semantic issues pertaining to programming with a deductive object-oriented language based on a subset of F-logic.
Data Exchange: Semantics and Query Answering
- In ICDT
, 2003
"... Data exchange is the problem of taking data structured under a source schema and creating an instance of a target schema that reflects the source data as accurately as possible. In this paper, we address foundational and algorithmic issues related to the semantics of data exchange and to query answe ..."

Working Knowledge
, 1998
"... While knowledge is viewed by many as an asset, it is often difficult to locate particular items within a large electronic corpus. This paper presents an agent based framework for the location of resources to resolve a specific query, and considers the associated design issue. Aspects of the work ..."

Classification in the KL-ONE knowledge representation system
- COGNITIVE SCIENCE
, 1985
"... KL-ONE lets one define and use a class of descriptive terms called Concepts, where each Concept denotes a set of objects A subsumption relation between Concepts is defined which is related to set inclusion by way of a semantics for Concepts. This subsumption relation defines a partial order on Conce ..."

PDDL2.1: An Extension to PDDL for Expressing Temporal Planning Domains
, 2003
"... In recent years research in the planning community has moved increasingly towards application of planners to realistic problems involving both time and many types of resources. For example, interest in planning demonstrated by the space research community has inspired work in observation scheduling, ..."

Other temporal and resource-intensive domains including logistics planning, plant control and manufacturing have also helped to focus the community on the modelling and reasoning issues that must be confronted to make planning technology meet
Semantic Issues in the Verification of Agent Communication Languages
- Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems

In particular, it considers the problem of giving a verifiable semantics for such languages -- a semantics where conformance (or otherwise) to the semantics could be determined by an independent observer.

Querying object-oriented databases
- ACM SIGMOD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MANAGEMENT OF DATA
, 1992
"... We present a novel language for querying object-oriented databases. The language is built around the idea of extended path expressions that substantially generalize [ZAN83], and on an adaptation of the first-order formalization of object-oriented languages from [KW89, KLW90, KW92]. The language inco ..."

Some of the salient features of our language are: ffl Precise model-theoretic semantics. ffl A very expressive form of path expressions that not only can do joins, selections and unnesting, but can also
