On the model checking of finite state transducers over semigroups

open access: yesТруды Института системного программирования РАН, 2018
Sequential reactive systems represent programs that interact with the environment by receiving signals or requests and react to these requests by performing operations with data.

Implicit Kripke Semantics and Ultraproducts in Stratified Institutions

open access: yes, 2016
We propose stratified institutions (a decade old generalised version of the theory of institutions of Goguen and Burstall) as a fully abstract model theoretic approach to modal logic.

Complete Additivity and Modal Incompleteness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper, we tell a story about incompleteness in modal logic. The story weaves together a paper of van Benthem, `Syntactic aspects of modal incompleteness theorems,' and a longstanding open question: whether every normal modal logic can be ...

Limits, Limitations, and Necessity in Margaret Macdonald

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT I offer a contribution to recent work on Margaret Macdonald (1903–1956), a prolific though largely unknown figure in the history of analytic philosophy who applied Wittgensteinian insights to a broad range of issues. Here I examine the development of Macdonald's views with respect to idealism and conventionalism, through the application of a ...

Generalized Strong Preservation by Abstract Interpretation

open access: yes, 2006
Standard abstract model checking relies on abstract Kripke structures which approximate concrete models by gluing together indistinguishable states, namely by a partition of the concrete state space.

Compositional synthesis of maximally permissive supervisors using supervision equivalence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper presents a general framework for efficient synthesis of supervisors for discrete event systems. The approach is based on compositional minimisation, using concepts of process equivalence.

The Cognitive Costs of Sleep Deprivation in Ultra‐Endurance Cycling: Insights From the Race Across France

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For athletes in endurance sports, who compete over several days and in unpredictable conditions, managing sleep–wake rhythms is critical to ensure optimal performance and minimise the risks to safety. Despite its growing popularity, the role of sleep management on ultracycling performance has received little attention.

Embedding mental files in the world

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
Cognitive scientific explanations can take either a mechanistic or design perspective. Some recent philosophical works propose to apply the mechanistic perspective to the influential mental file framework. The design perspective, however, remains underexplored.

Pulling Down the Hierarchy

open access: yesPacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper is about the hierarchy view: that each word has infinitely many meanings, arranged into levels, with the level n meaning serving as its semantic value when it occurs embedded to degree n in indirect or attitude reporting verbs. Departing from the famous debates over the bare tenability of the hierarchy view, I focus on whether there
