We present a resolution-based decision procedure for the description logic SHOIQ--the logic underlying the Semantic Web ontology language OWL-DL. Our procedure is goal-oriented, an...
This paper describes a class of decision procedures that we have found useful for efficient, domain-specific deductive synthesis, and a method for integrating this type of procedur...
We give a new decision procedure for the guarded fragment with equality. The procedure is based on resolution with superposition. We argue that this method will be more useful in ...
Reasoning about string variables, in particular program inputs, is an important aspect of many program analyses and testing frameworks. Program inputs invariably arrive as strings...
contexts such as construction of abstractions, speed may be favored over completeness, so that undecidable theories (e.g., nonlinear integer arithmetic) and those whose decision pr...
