Instructions in a program arranged in a prescribed order to solve a problem. Give a requirement to several programmers, each is likely to create different program logic. As long as the program works, ...

In the first part of this paper, the concept of logical reduction is presented. Minimal preferred variable inequalities are introduced, and algorithms are given for their calculation. A simple ...

Picat is a new logic-based programming language. In many ways, Picat is similar to Prolog, especially B-Prolog, but it has functions in addition to predicates, pattern-matching instead of unification ...

Temporal logic provides a formal language with which one can express time-dependent behaviours, facilitating rigorous reasoning about the sequential evolution of system states. This branch of ...

Synthese spans the topics of Epistemology, Methodology and Philosophy of Science. Coverage includes the theory of knowledge; general methodological problems of science, of induction and probability, ...

Since 1972, scientists have known there are four basic circuit components, but if you’ve spent any time in an electrical engineering classroom, you probably only have experience with three: capacitor, ...

Excel is many things: powerful, useful, colorful, handy, but its logic functions can be challenging to newcomers due to their implied logic, and a shorthand syntax designed to fit on a single line in ...

A programmable logic controller (PLC) is an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and outputs, and makes logic-based decisions for automated processes or machines. 1. The image above is ...
