    Abstract

    This paper develops verification methodology for quantum programs, and the
    contribution of the paper is two-fold: 1. Sharir, Pnueli and Hart [SIAM J.
    Comput. 13(1984)292-314] presented a general method for proving properties of
    probabilistic programs, in which a probabilistic program is modeled by a Markov
    chain and an assertion on the output distribution is extended into an invariant
    assertion on all intermediate distributions.

  2. Reasoning about Cardinal Directions between Extended Objects.

    Abstract

    Direction relations between extended spatial objects are important
    commonsense knowledge. Recently, Goyal and Egenhofer proposed a formal model,
    known as Cardinal Direction Calculus (CDC), for representing direction
    relations between connected plane regions. CDC is perhaps the most expressive
    qualitative calculus for directional information, and has attracted increasing
    interest from areas such as artificial intelligence, geographical information
    science, and image retrieval.
