Kowalski and Sergot’s Event Calculus (EC) is a simple temporal formalism that, given a set of event occurrences, allows the derivation of the maximal validity intervals (MVIs) o...
Events employed in natural language semantics are characterized in terms of regular languages, each string in which can be regarded as a motion picture. The relevant finite autom...
Effect axioms constitute the cornerstone of formal theories of action in AI. They drive standard reasoning tasks, especially prediction. These tasks need not be coupled with actual...
We propose rewriting logic as a unifying framework for a wide range of Petri nets models. We treat in detail place/transition nets and important extensions of the basic model by in...
Recursive Petri Nets (RPNs) allow to design and analyze complex discrete event systems. Indeed, RPNs enable to model patterns of discrete event systems related to the dynamic struc...
