Reasoning Support for Expressive Ontology Languages Using a Theorem Prover
It is claimed in [45] that first-order theorem provers are not efficient for reasoning with ontologies based on description logics compared to specialised description logic reasone...

Finite Instantiations for Integer Difference Logic
The last few years have seen the advent of a new breed of decision procedures for various fragments of first-order logic based on ional abstraction. A lazy satisfiability checker ...

Game Quantification on Automatic Structures and Hierarchical Model Checking Games
Game quantification is an expressive concept and has been studied in model theory and descriptive set theory, especially in relation to infinitary logics. Automatic structures on t...

Constraint Databases, Data Structures and Efficient Query Evaluation
Abstract. Constraint databases that can be described by boolean combinations of polynomial inequalities over the reals have received ample research attention. In particular, the ex...

Counting and Addition Cannot Express Deterministic Transitive Closure
An important open question in complexity theory is whether the circuit complexity class TC0 is (strictly) weaker than LOGSPACE. This paper considers this question from the viewpoi...

Controlled Natural Language Can Replace First-Order Logic
Many domain specialists are not familiar or comfortable with formal notations and formal tools like theorem provers or model generators. To address this problem we developed Attem...

Automating first-order relational logic
An automatic analysis method for first-order logic with sets and relations is described. A first-order formula is translated to a quantifier-free boolean formula, which has a mode...

Axiomatic First-Order Probability
Most languages for the Semantic Web have their logical basis in some fragment of first-order logic. Thus, integrating first-order logic with probability is fundamental for represen...

Reasoning by Symmetry and Function Ordering in Finite Model Generation
Abstract. Finite model search for first-order logic theories is complementary to theorem proving. Systems like Falcon, SEM and FMSET use the known LNH (Least Number Heuristic) heur...

The Model Evolution Calculus
The DPLL procedure is the basis of some of the most successful propositional satisfiability solvers to date. Although originally devised as a proofprocedure for first-order logic, ...
