101Domain-specific multimodeling — Domain specific multimodeling[1] is a software development paradigm where each view is made explicit as a separate domain specific language (DSL). Successful development of a modern enterprise system requires the convergence of multiple views.… …
102Hilbert's program — Hilbert s program, formulated by German mathematician David Hilbert in the 1920s, was to formalize all existing theories to a finite, complete set of axioms, and provide a proof that these axioms were consistent.Hilbert proposed that the… …

110Equiconsistency — In mathematical logic, two theories are equiconsistent if, roughly speaking, they are as consistent as each other . It is not in general possible to prove the absolute consistency of a theory T. Instead we usually take a theory S, believed to be… …
