Description Logics form a family of formalisms closely related to semantic networks but with the distinguishing characteristic that the semantics of the concept description langua...
Kowalski and Sergot’s Event Calculus (EC) is a simple temporal formalism that, given a set of event occurrences, allows the derivation of the maximal validity intervals (MVIs) o...
A new multiagent programmingparadigm based on the transactional logic model' is developed. This paradigm enables us to construct a Distributed agent transactional program (DA...
Abstract. This paper develops a highly expressive semantic framework for program refinement that supports both temporal reasoning and reasoning about the knowledge of a single agen...
We present a functional DBPL in the style of FP that facilitates the definition of precise semantics and opens up opportunities for far-reaching optimizations. The language is int...
