From Proof Nets to the Free *-Autonomous Category
In the first part of this paper we present a theory of proof nets for full
multiplicative linear logic, including the two units. It naturally extends the
well-known theory of unit-free multiplicative proof nets. A linking is no
longer a set of axiom links but a tree in which the axiom links are subtrees.
These trees will be identified according to an equivalence relation based on a
simple form of graph rewriting. We show the standard results of
sequentialization and strong normalization of cut elimination. In the second
part of the paper we show that the identifications enforced on proofs are such
that the class of two-conclusion proof nets defines the free *-autonomous
category.Comment: LaTeX, 44 pages, final version for LMCS; v2: updated bibliograph
On Nested Sequents for Constructive Modal Logics
We present deductive systems for various modal logics that can be obtained
from the constructive variant of the normal modal logic CK by adding
combinations of the axioms d, t, b, 4, and 5. This includes the constructive
variants of the standard modal logics K4, S4, and S5. We use for our
presentation the formalism of nested sequents and give a syntactic proof of cut
elimination.Comment: 33 page
A Characterisation of Medial as Rewriting Rule
International audienceMedial is an inference rule scheme that appears in various deductive systems based on deep inference. In this paper we investigate the properties of medial as rewriting rule independently from logic. We present a graph theoretical criterion for checking whether there exists a medial rewriting path between two formulas. Finally, we return to logic and apply our criterion for giving a combinatorial proof for a decomposition theorem, i.e., proof theoretical statement about syntax

Clarifying interoperability: The SISO CSPI PDG standard for commercial off-the-shelf simulation package interoperability reference models
Commercial-off-the-shelf simulation packages (CSPs), visual interactive modelling environments such as Arena, Anylogic, Flexsim, Simul8, Witness, etc., are important "black box" software tools that support the development, experimentation and visualization of simulation models. They are widely used in commerce, defence, health, manufacturing and logistics. There is a growing need to link together, or to interoperate, models developed in these CSPs across computer networks. The motivation for this includes data sensitivity, difficult to move resources and speed up
