Temporal Justification Logic
Justification logics are modal-like logics with the additional capability of recording the reason, or justification, for modalities in syntactic structures, called justification terms. Justification logics can be seen as explicit counterparts to modal logics. The behavior and interaction of agents in distributed system is often modeled using logics of knowledge and time. In this paper, we sketch some preliminary ideas on how the modal knowledge part of such logics of knowledge and time could be replaced with an appropriate justification logic
FO(FD): Extending classical logic with rule-based fixpoint definitions
We introduce fixpoint definitions, a rule-based reformulation of fixpoint
constructs. The logic FO(FD), an extension of classical logic with fixpoint
definitions, is defined. We illustrate the relation between FO(FD) and FO(ID),
which is developed as an integration of two knowledge representation paradigms.
The satisfiability problem for FO(FD) is investigated by first reducing FO(FD)
to difference logic and then using solvers for difference logic. These
reductions are evaluated in the computation of models for FO(FD) theories
representing fairness conditions and we provide potential applications of
FO(FD).Comment: Presented at ICLP 2010. 16 pages, 1 figur
