This is a collection of papers presented at a workshop “Syntax, Lexicon, and Event Structure ” held in 2006 at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, honoring Professor Anita Mittwoch on her eightieth birthday. The topics of the workshop were Professor Mittowoch’s

This paper investigates probability in the presence of causal dependence. More precisely, it studies the process model of probabilistic event structures. In their simplest form probabilistic choice is localised to cells at which immediate conflict arises; in which case probabilistic independence

' of a transitive verb can be fruitfully explored in the context of recent work on the structure and representation of verb meaning and the licensing of arguments. Much recent research has converged on the notion `event' as an important organizing notion in the linguistic representation of meaning

We investigate which event structures can be denoted by means of closed CCS ¥ CSP expressions. Working up to isomorphism we find that ¦ all denotable event structures are bundle event structures, ¦ upon adding an infinitary parallel composition all bundle event structures are denotable, without

A category of event structures with symmetry is introduced and its categorical properties investigated. Applications to the event-structure semantics of higher order processes, nondeterministic dataflow and the unfolding of Petri nets with multiple tokens are sketched.

We propose a generalisation of Winskel's event structures, matching the expressive power of arbitrary Petri nets. In particular, our event structures capture resolvable conflict, besides disjunctive and conjunctive causality.

Introduction We consider the relation between event structures and Chu(Set; 2), particularly the full subcategory Sys of set systems. 2 Event Structures and Configurations Definition 1 1 An event structure is a structure (E; `) where `ae P(E) \Theta P(E). 2 A configuration of the event structure

The Ponder language provides a common means of specifying security policies that map onto various access control implementation mechanisms for firewalls, operating systems, databases and Java. It supports obligation policies that are event triggered conditionaction rules for policy based management

This paper characterizes the dynamic effects of shocks in government spending and taxes on U. S. activity in the postwar period. It does so by using a mixed structural VAR/event study approach. Identification is achieved by using institutional information about the tax and transfer systems
