This paper proposes some variants of Temporal Defeasible Logic (TDL) to reason about normative modifications. These variants make it possible to differentiate cases in which, for ...
We develop a logic for representing and reasoning about coalitional games without transferable payoffs. Although a number of logics of cooperation have been proposed over the past...
Various forms of assumption/commitment specifications have been used to specify and reason about the interference that comes from concurrent execution; in particular, consistent a...
It is possible, but difficult, to reason in Hoare logic about programs which address and modify data structures defined by pointers. The challenge is to approach the simplicity of ...
This paper argues for new computational mechanisms to aid specification of requirements for composite systems. It presents mechanisms for storing specification fragments, or viewp...
