Gelfond and Lifschitz introduce a declarative language A for describing effects of actions and define a translation of theories in this language into extended logic programs(ELP, ...
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...
In the process-algebraic veri cation of systems with three or more components put in parallel, alphabet axioms are considered to be very useful. These are rules that exploit the i...
Temporal logics are well suited for the specification and verification of systems of communicating agents. In this paper we adopt a social approach to agent communication, where c...
