x <- die, bug!
Can anyone tell me why the following 4 authors are frequently
cited in the professional (computer science and mathematics)
literature as "ADJ" ?
J.A. Goguen
J.W. Thatcher
E.G. Wagner
J.B. Wright
Occasionally these two additional authors are included in "ADJ".
H. Ehrig
H.-J. Kreowski
They apparently need not *all* appear in a single paper for the paper
to be cited as [ADJ 8x]. If "ADJ" is an acronym it is apparently in
some language other than English. "ADJ" does not appear to be the
employer or educational institution these people have worked for or
currently work for (some of them have moved around). "ADJ" is
definitely *NOT* the name of the journal in which their articles
appear.
The "ADJ" group does work in universal algebra as applied to
specification of abstract (*very* abstract) data types and related
topics in category theory.
This is not a quiz. I would like to know the answer. Please
*MAIL* me any pertinent information you have.
