We give the first ExpTime (complexity-optimal) tableau decision procedure for checking satisfiability of a knowledge base in the description logic SHIQ when numbers are coded in unary. Our procedure is based on global state caching and…

Metric Temporal Logic (MTL) is a prominent specification formalism for real-time systems. In this paper, we show that the satisfiability problem for MTL over finite timed words is decidable, with non-primitive recursive complexity. We also…

Constant-rate multi-mode systems (MMS) are hybrid systems with finitely many modes and real-valued variables that evolve over continuous time according to mode-specific constant rates. We introduce a variant of linear temporal logic (LTL)…

Modal logics are widely used in multi-agent systems to reason about actions, abilities, norms, or epistemic states. Combined with description logic languages, they are also a powerful tool to formalise modal aspects of ontology-based…

The system of Type PDL ($\tau$PDL) is an extension of Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL) and its main goal is to provide a formal basis for reasoning about types of actions (modeled by their preconditions and effects) and agent capabilities.…

I consider the following generic scenario: an abstract model M of some 'real' system is only partially presented, or partially known to us, and we have to ensure that the actual system satisfies a given specification, formalised in some…
