Query answering over OWLs and RDFs on the Semantic Web is, in general, a deductive process. To this end, OWL, a family of web ontology languages based on description logic, has be...
The latest ontology languages can be translated into a description logic (DL), thus providing them with a formal semantics and associated reasoning procedures. We introduce the or...
Unit resolution is arguably the most useful known algorithm for tractable reasoning in propositional logic. Intuitively, if one knows a, b, and a b c, then c should be an obviou...
A lightweight logical approach to race-free sharing of heap storage between concurrent threads is described, based on the notion of permission to access. Transfer of permission be...

Modern proof assistants such as Coq and Isabelle provide high degrees of expressiveness and assurance because they support formal reasoning in higher-order logic and supply explic...
