We propose a two-pha.se algorithm for physical database design. In phase one the algorithm, for each logical query, losesrules to determine characteristics of a physical design (s...
Fagin, Halpern, Moses, and Vardi have proposed a framework of epistemic agents with multiple “frames of mind” (local-reasoning structures), to solve problems concerning incons...
In this paper I give a brief overview of recent work on uncertainty inAI, and relate it to logical representations. Bayesian decision theory and logic are both normative frameworks...
Knowledge representation in logics, even in the order-sorted logic that includes a sort hierarchy, tends to lose the conciseness and the nuances of natural language. If we could c...
Sequence logic is a parameterized logic where the formulas are sequences of formulas of some arbitrary underlying logic. The sequence formulas are interpreted in certain linearly o...
