Modern information retrieval systems need the capability to reason about the knowledge conveyed by text bases. In this paper a methodology to automatically create ontologies and cl...
This paper presents a new rule for reasoning about method calls in object-oriented programs. It is an adaptation of Hoare's rule of adaptation to the object-oriented paradigm,...
We describe a new algorithm for proving temporal properties expressed in LTL of infinite-state programs. Our approach takes advantage of the fact that LTL properties can often be...
Description logics (DLs) and rules are formalisms that emphasize different aspects of knowledge representation: whereas DLs are focused on specifying and reasoning about conceptual...
Modern proof assistants such as Coq and Isabelle provide high degrees of expressiveness and assurance because they support formal reasoning in higher-order logic and supply explic...
