Abstract
First S-questionnaires are introduced as mechanical devices which permit the representation of recursively definable families of information structures by means of sets of sequences of non-negative integers. The subclass of L-questionnaires is then defined enabling: i) a bijection between such a family F and the set ℕ of non-negative integers ii) the construction of an operator admitting exactly the elements of F as its fixed-points. Two examples are treated extensively.
The research reported here was supported by the C.N.R., under contract n. 72.000246.42 of the Special Program for Informatica.
