This paper argues that a combined treatment of probabilities, time and actions is essential for an appropriate logical account of the notion of probability; and, based on this intuition, describes an expressive probabilistic temporal logic…
Logic-based approaches to AI have the advantage that their behavior can in principle be explained to a user. If, for instance, a Description Logic reasoner derives a consequence that triggers some action of the overall system, then one can…
Alternating-time temporal logic (ATL) allows to specify requirements on abilities that different agents should (or should not) possess in a multi-agent system. However, model checking ATL specifications in realistic systems is…
We present a probabilistic extension of the description logic $\mathcal{ALC}$ for reasoning about statistical knowledge. We consider conditional statements over proportions of the domain and are interested in the probabilistic-logical…
Description Logics (DLs) are a family of knowledge representation formalisms mainly characterised by constructors to build complex concepts and roles from atomic ones. Expressive role constructors are important in many applications, but can…
In recent years, there is growing need and interest in formalizing and reasoning about the quality of software and hardware systems. As opposed to traditional verification, where one handles the question of whether a system satisfies, or…
We study query answering in the description logic $\mathcal{SQ}$ supporting qualified number restrictions on both transitive and non-transitive roles. Our main contributions are a tree-like model property for $\mathcal{SQ}$ knowledge bases…
Qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning is based on so-called qualitative calculi. Algebraic properties of these calculi have several implications on reasoning algorithms. But what exactly is a qualitative calculus? And to which extent…
We study quantified propositional logics from the complexity theoretic point of view. First we introduce alternating dependency quantified boolean formulae (ADQBF) which generalize both quantified and dependency quantified boolean formulae.…
Labelled tableaux have been a traditional approach to define satisfiability checking procedures for Modal Logics. In many cases, they can also be used to obtain tight complexity bounds and lead to efficient implementations of reasoning…
We study the realizability problem for Safety LTL, the syntactic fragment of Linear Temporal Logic capturing safe formulas. We show that the problem is EXP-complete, disproving the existing conjecture of 2EXP-completeness. We achieve this…
This paper presents a tableau calculus for finding a model for a set-satisfiable finite set of formulas of an extended fuzzy logic BL, a fuzzy logic BL with additional Baaz connective and the involutive negation, if such a model exists. The…
The work relates to the automatic generation of logical specifications, considered as sets of temporal logic formulas, extracted directly from developed software models. The extraction process is based on the assumption that the whole…
Refutation calculi are formal systems developed to derive the invalid formulas of a given logic. While the notion of refutation calculi has played a key role in the development of tableaux calculi, a refutation approach to display calculi…
In this article a few of the qualitative spatio-temporal knowledge representation techniques developed by the constraint reasoning community within artificial intelligence are reviewed. The objective is to provide a broad exposure to any…
While the $\mu$-calculus notoriously subsumes Alternating-time Temporal Logic (ATL), we show that the epistemic $\mu$-calculus does not subsume ATL with imperfect information (ATL$_i$) for the synchronous perfect-recall semantics. To prove…
We present tableau calculi for some logics of nonmonotonic reasoning, as defined by Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor. We give a tableau proof procedure for all KLM logics, namely preferential, loop-cumulative, cumulative and rational logics. Our…
Evaluating tables qualitatively and quantitatively poses a significant challenge, as standard metrics often overlook subtle structural and content-level discrepancies. To address this, we propose a rubric-based evaluation framework that…
Let $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{X}}$ be the language of first-order, decidable theory $\mathcal{X}$. Consider the language, $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{RQ}}(\mathcal{X})$, that extends $\mathcal{L}_{\mathcal{X}}$ with formulas of the form $\forall x…
We study an extension of $\mtl$ in pointwise time with rational expression guarded modality $\reg_I(\re)$ where $\re$ is a rational expression over subformulae. We study the decidability and expressiveness of this extension ($\mtl$+$\varphi…
