In this paper we study the ramification problem in the setting of temporal databases. Standard solutions from the literature on reasoning about action are inadequate because they ...
We present a powerful new account of multi-agent knowledge in the situation calculus and an effective reasoning procedure for handling knowledge queries. Our approach generalizes...
We describe a method for writing assumption/guarantee specifications of concurrent systems. We also provide a proof rule for reasoning about the composition of these systems. Spec...
