Using First-Order Logic to Reason about Policies
A policy describes the conditions under which an action is permitted or forbidden. We show that a fragment of (multi-sorted) first-order logic can be used to represent and reason...

Using First-Order Logic to Reason about Submodule Construction
We consider the following problem: For a system consisting of two components, the behavior of one component is known as well as the desired global behavior. What should be the beha...

First-Order Logic vs. Fixed-Point Logic in Finite Set Theory
The ordered conjecture states that least fixed-point logic LFP is strictly more expressive than first-order logic FO on every infinite class of ordered finite structures. It has b...

From Separation Logic to First-Order Logic
Separation logic is a spatial logic for reasoning locally about heap structures. A decidable fragment of its assertion language was presented in [1], based on a bounded model prope...
