A technique is proposed for computing the weakest sufficient (wsc) and strongest necessary (snc) conditions for formulas in an expressive fragment of first-order logic using quant...

Metaprogramming adds new expressive power to logic programming which can be advantageous to transfer to the field of deductive databases. We propose metaprogramming as a way to mo...
Requirements about the quality of clinical guidelines can be represented by schemata borrowed from the theory of abductive diagnosis, using temporal logic to model the time-orient...

We study the automated verification of pointer safety for heap-manipulating imperative programs with unknown procedure calls. Given a Hoare-style partial correctness specificati...
Abstract. For practical applications, the use of top-down query-driven proofprocedures is essential for an efficient use and computation of answers using Logic Programs as knowledg...
