We consider the problem of automated reasoning about dynamically manipulated data structures. The state-of-the-art methods are limited to the unfold-and-match (U+M) paradigm, where predicates are transformed via (un)folding operations…

In the future, AI will increasingly find its way into systems that can potentially cause physical harm to humans. For such safety-critical systems, it must be demonstrated that their residual risk does not exceed what is acceptable. This…

Organizational knowledge used by AI agents typically lacks epistemic structure: retrieval systems surface semantically relevant content without distinguishing binding decisions from abandoned hypotheses, contested claims from settled ones,…

We present a method for computing stable models of normal logic programs, i.e., logic programs extended with negation, in the presence of predicates with arbitrary terms. Such programs need not have a finite grounding, so traditional…

Guaranteeing the validity of concurrent operations on distributed objects is a key property for ensuring reliability and consistency in distributed systems. Usually, the methods for validating these operations, if present, are wired in the…

This paper explores the importance of accountability to data protection, and how it can be built into the Internet of Things (IoT). The need to build accountability into the IoT is motivated by the opaque nature of distributed data flows,…

Distributed sensor networks such as IoT deployments generate large quantities of measurement data. Often, the analytics that runs on this data is available as a web service which can be purchased for a fee. A major concern in the analytics…

Usually gradual and continuous changes in entities will lead to appear events. But usually it is supposed that an event is occurred at once. In this research an integrated framework called continuous occurrence theory (COT) is presented to…

A formalization of a subject-event ontology is proposed for modeling complex dynamic systems without reliance on global time. Key principles: (1) event as an act of fixation - a subject discerns and fixes changes according to models…

The second international CREST workshop continued the focus of the first CREST workshop: addressing approaches to causal reasoning in engineering complex embedded and safety-critical systems. Relevant approaches to causal reasoning have…

Data replication is used in distributed systems to maintain up-to-date copies of shared data across multiple computers in a network. However, despite decades of research, algorithms for achieving consistency in replicated systems are still…

This paper develops a process-based account of scientific explanation that reconceives grounding in terms of stabilisation. Grounding theories capture hierarchical dependence but lack criteria for when explanations remain adequate under…

ASPIC+ is one of the main general frameworks for rule-based argumentation for AI. Although first-order rules are commonly used in ASPIC+ examples, most existing approaches to reason over rule-based argumentation only support propositional…

Formalisms for specifying statistical models, such as probabilistic-programming languages, typically consist of two components: a specification of a stochastic process (the prior), and a specification of observations that restrict the…

Rulelog is a knowledge representation and reasoning language based on logic programming under the well-founded semantics. It is an extension of the language of Flora-2 and so supports inheritance and other object-oriented features, as well…

Human societies continuously transform scattered information into collective judgments and coordinated action, whether through markets discovering prices, governments allocating resources, communities enforcing norms, or science converging…

Societal accumulation of knowledge is a complex process. The correctness of new units of knowledge depends not only on the correctness of new reasoning, but also on the correctness of old units that the new one builds on. The errors in such…

Open agentic systems combine LLM-based planning with external capabilities, persistent memory, and privileged execution. They are used in coding assistants, browser copilots, and enterprise automation. OpenClaw is a visible instance of this…

We propose $\mathcal{E}^{\downarrow}$-logic as a formal foundation for the specification and development of event-based systems with local data states. The logic is intended to cover a broad range of abstraction levels from abstract…

Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) is an emerging interdisciplinary field arising in the intersection between the research areas of machine learning, big data, streaming analytics, and the management of IT operations. AIOps,…
