Implementation and Comparison of Solution Methods for Decision Processes with Non-Markovian Rewards
This paper examines a number of solution methods for decision processes with non-Markovian rewards (NMRDPs). They all exploit a temporal logic specification of the reward functio...

Reasoning about Time and Knowledge in Neural Symbolic Learning Systems
We show that temporal logic and combinations of temporal logics and modal logics of knowledge can be effectively represented in artificial neural networks. We present a Translat...

Goal Specification, Non-Determinism and Quantifying over Policies
One important aspect in directing cognitive robots or agents is to formally specify what is expected of them. This is often referred to as goal specification. Temporal logics such...

Tractable Temporal Reasoning
Temporal reasoning is widely used within both Computer Science and A.I. However, the underlying complexity of temporal proof in discrete temporal logics has led to the use of simp...

An interval logic for natural language semantics
Most temporal logics, particularly interval temporal logics, are not expressive enough to capture meanings of natural language constructions, and they are not convenient to represe...

Model Checking: A Tutorial Overview
We survey principles of model checking techniques for the automatic analysis of reactive systems. The use of model checking is exemplified by an analysis of the Needham-Schroeder p...

Reasoning with Axioms: Theory and Practice
When reasoning in description, modal or temporal logics it is often useful to consider axioms representing universal truths in the domain of discourse. Reasoning with respect to a...

Linear Temporal Logic and Z Refinement
Since Z, being a state-based language, describes a system in terms of its state and potential state changes, it is natural to want to describe properties of a specified system also...

Model Checking a Path
We consider the problem of checking whether a finite (or ultimately periodic) run satisfies a temporal logic formula. This problem is at the heart of “runtime verification” ...

The Role of Visual Tools in a Web Application Design and Verification Framework: A Visual Notation for LTL Formulae
As the Web becomes a platform for implementing complex B2C and B2B applications, there is a need to extend Web conceptual modeling to process-centric applications. In this context,...
