Systems of autonomous agents providing automated services over the Web are fast becoming a reality. Often these agent systems are constructed using procedural architectures that pr...
We give algorithms to construct the least L-model for a given positive modal logic program P, where L can be one of the modal logics KD, T, KDB, B, KD4, S4, KD5, KD45, and S5. If L...
We establish a declarative theory of forgetting for disjunctive logic programs. The suitability of this theory is justified by a number of desirable properties. In particular, one...
Abstract. The ability of reacting to changes in the external environment is of crucial importance within the context of software agents. Such feature must however be suitably recon...
Abstract Read-write locking is an important mechanism to improve concurrent granularity, but it is difficult to reason about the safety of concurrent programs with read-write locks...
