Although classical first-order logic is the de facto standard logical foundation for artificial intelligence, the lack of a built-in, semantically grounded capability for reasonin...
Recently, a wide range of applications like hurricane research, fire management, navigation systems, and transportation, to name only a few, has shown increasing interest in mana...
We define tree automata with global constraints (TAGC), generalizing the well-known class of tree automata with global equality and disequality constraints [14] (TAGED). TAGC can...
Alternating timed automata are a powerful extension of classical Alur-Dill timed automata that are closed under all Boolean operations. They have played a key role, among others, ...
We address the problem of merging qualitative constraint networks (QCNs) representing agents local preferences or beliefs on the relative position of spatial or temporal entities. ...
