In his well-known paper \How computer should think" ( Be77b]) Belnap argues that four-valued semantics is a very suitable setting for computerized reasoning. In this paper we...
We extract techniques developed in the Concurrent C minor project to build a framework for constructing logics that contain approximation and/or separation. Approximation occurs wh...
