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...

A Fully Connectionist Model Generator for Covered First-Order Logic Programs
We present a fully connectionist system for the learning of first-order logic programs and the generation of corresponding models: Given a program and a set of training examples,...
