Interactive provers typically use higher-order logic, while automatic provers typically use first-order logic. In order to integrate interactive provers with automatic ones, it is ...
This paper addresses the problem of merging uncertain information in the framework of possibilistic logic. It presents several syntactic combination rules to merge possibilistic k...
Confinement properties impose a structure on object graphs which can be used to enforce encapsulation properties. From a practical point of view, encapsulation is essential for bu...
We propose a novel interpretation of natural-language questions using a modal predicate logic of knowledge. Our approach brings standard model-theoretic and proof-theoretic techniq...
We present a resolution calculus for first-order logic using a more concise formalism for representing sets of clauses. The idea is to represent the clause set at hand as a Direct...
