Detection of a global predicate is a fundamental problem in distributed computing. In this paper we describe new predicate detection algorithms for certain temporal logic predicat...
We introduce the notion of bounded nondeterminism for logic programs and queries. A program and a query have bounded nondeterminism if there are finitely many refutations for the...
We propose a methodology based on testing as a framework to capture the interactions of a machine represented in a denotational model and the data it manipulates. Using a duality t...
Though overriding as a single and default mode of inheritance is adequate for most knowledge bases, a large class of applications naturally requires several inheritance modes and ...
This paper describes a novel approach to high-level agent programming based on a highly developed logical theory of action. The user provides a specification of the agents’ bas...
