Abstract Practical description logic systems play an ever-growing role for knowledge representation and reasoning research even in distributed environments. In particular, the onto...
A parallel file may be physically stored on several independent disks and logically partitioned by several processors. This paper presents general algorithms for mapping between t...
We address the goal of making Delegation Logic (DL) into a practically implementable and tractable trustmanagement system. DL [22] is a logic-based knowledge representation (i.e.,...
There is a recent trend of extending epistemic logic (EL) with dynamic operators that allow to express the evolution of knowledge and induced by knowledge-changing actions. The mo...
We propose that the trust an agent places in another agent declaratively captures an architectural connector between the two agents. We formulate trust as a generic modality expre...
