In the refinement calculus, monotonic predicate transformers are used to model specifications for (imperative) programs. Together with a natural notion of simulation, they form a...
In formal approaches to commonsense reasoning about actions. the Ramification Problem denotes the problem of handling indirect effects which implicitly derive from so-called state...
A logic is defined which in addition to propositional calculus contains several types of probabilistic operators which are applied only to propositional formulas. For every s ∈...
Abstract. We define a framework based on computational logic technology and on a reactive axiomatization of the Event Calculus to formalize the evolution of commitments in time. We...
