Complexity as a Basis for Comparing SemanticModels of
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate some aspects of interexpressiveness of languages and their (denotational) semantic models by viewing semantic functions from a complexity-theory viewpoint. We classify semantic functions as polynomial or nite if a language term of size n produces a metalanguage object respectively polynomially bounded in n or nite. Languages involving concurrency manifest most interest which we associate to the fact that their semantic models in general lack-style abstraction. The paper provides a quantiiable reason why labelled event structures form a more reasonable model for the choice and concurrency operators of CCS than do synchronisation trees. Similarly we show the representation of connict by places within (at least occurrence forms of) Petri-nets is exponentially larger than the relational representation within corresponding event structures. An application is a criterion for selection of semantic models for real-world algorithmic purposes; for example , `model checking' algorithms which use an exponentially larger semantic representation of programs are unlikely to be eecient.

On the computational complexity of finding a minimal basis for the guess and determine attack
Guess-and-determine attack is one of the general attacks on stream ciphers. It is a common cryptanalysis tool for evaluating security of stream ciphers. The effectiveness of this attack is based on the number of unknown bits which will be guessed by the attacker to break the cryptosystem. In this work, we present a relation between the minimum numbers of the guessed bits and uniquely restricted...
متن کاملEFL Textbooks, L2 Contacts, and Teacher Self-Efficacy: Impact on Learners’ Development of Oral Complexity, Accuracy, and Fluency
Researchers have extensively compared different L2 learning contexts, such as EFL versus study-abroad, for their impacts on oral production; however, scant attention, if any, has been paid to comparing EFL settings in terms of input factors such as textbooks, amount of contacts in L2, and teachers. Accordingly, the effects of these factors on the oral production skills were investigated in this...
متن کاملExclusionary Decision Making in Tehran Metropolitan Region- Complexity, Self organization and Power of Action
Viewing urban areas as webs of complex, interwoven networks, this article aims to analyze the decision-making process and its outcomes in Tehran metropolitan region. To do so, first the theoretical basis of complexity in urban life and its implications for planning have been reviewed. Using the main notion of power of action i.e. agency, and through creating the network of actors and their rela...

"Teaching-Learning Approach" is a model of interaction between teachers and students in an educational environment and one of the main components of the educational system. This model can be organized and designed on the basis of various opinions and ideas, including philosophical or scientific theories. This research aims to design and explain teaching-learning approach based on the complexity...
متن کاملبهبود حمله حدس و تعیین اکتشافی به سامانه های رمز جریانی TIPSY و SNOW1.0
Guess and determine attacks are general attacks on stream ciphers. These attacks are classified into ad-hoc and Heuristic Guess and Determine (HGD) attacks. One of the Advantages of HGD attack algorithm over ad-hoc attack is that it is designed algorithmically for a large class of stream ciphers while being powerful. In this paper, we use auxiliary polynomials in addition to the original equati...
