....possible actions are to take one or two pennies at a time. Trust and commitments can be created by communication. Our logic therefore consists of a dynamic logic for actions and modal operators for trust and commitment. The dynamic logic is an extension of standard propositional dynamic logic [6, 7] that contains operators for choice, for iteration and ; for sequence. The formula ######### expresses that agent is able to perform action # and by doing so it possibly reaches a state where # holds. Our extension incorporates a concurrency operator and an action negation operator . ....

....services over knowledge bases (in particular for logical implication) We show how to decide satis ability of ALCFI reg concepts by reducing it to nonemptiness of 2ATAs. To this end we rst de ne the (syntactic) closure for ALCFI reg , which extends the standard Fischer Ladner for converse pdl [4], by treating functional restrictions as atomic concepts. For technical reasons we include in the closure also additional elements representing basic roles and their negations. In particular, the closure CLF (C 0 ) of an ALCFI reg concept C 0 is de ned as the smallest set No condition is ....

.... classes usually encountered (safety, liveness, fairness) Among the wide range of temporal logics proposed in the literature, the modal calculus [18] is particularly powerful, subsuming linear time logics as Ltl [22] branching time logics as Ctl [4] or Actl [25] and regular logics as Pdl [12] or Pdl # [27] Secondly, the underlying model checking problem should have a su#ciently low complexity, in order to o#er reasonable response times on practical applications. Optimizing this is often contradictory with the first criterion above, because the model checking complexity of temporal ....
....future work. 2 Regular alternation free calculus The logic that we propose, called regular alternation free calculus, is an extension of the alternation free fragment of the modal calculus [18,7] with action formulas as in Actl [25] and with regular expressions over action sequences as in Pdl [12]. It allows direct encodings of pure branching time logics like Actl or Ctl [4] as well as of regular logics like Pdl or Pdl # [27] We first define its syntax and semantics, and then we show its usefulness by means of several examples of commonly encountered temporal properties. 2.1 Syntax ....

....of GLs but also the undecidability of the subclasses of GLs based on context sensitive and context free grammars. Moreover, it is shown that the subclass of GLs based on right regular grammars is decidable by means of the filtration methods, by defining an extension of the Fisher Ladner closure [26]. A careful study of the filtration method for the multimodal logics case is presented in [13] where the author shows some limits of its use. In this paper we do not mention about the number of multimodal operators to preserve and or destroy decidability for the presented classes of multimodal ....

Translating between calculus equation systems and its most traditional linear format [27] is straightforward. Since we will use Boolean equation ....

....to design an algorithm that can decide satisfiability w.r.t. role hierarchies and transitive roles. This problem is known to be ExpTime complete [77] In fact, ExpTime hardness can be shown by an easy adaptation of the ExpTime hardness proof for satisfiability in propositional dynamic logic [38]. Using automata based techniques, Tobies [77] shows that satisfiability of w.r.t. role hierarchies is indeed decidable within exponential time. In the remainder of this section, we sketch a tableau based decision procedure for this problem. This procedure, which is described in more detail in ....

The proof is by a modification of the proof of theorem 2 (2) similar to that we have used immediately above. 3) The proof follows an argument in [21]. It is easily shown that using the usual binary coding of numbers, the size of descriptions of MA systems A(M;x) in (1) and (2) can be bounded by O(n log n) Then the required assertion is obtained by using an ATM M recognizing in space O(n) a set recognizable by a DTM in time 3 but not in ....

....The alternation free calculus (AFMC) consists of calculus formulas with no alternation between least and greatest fixpoint operators. Thus, AFMC is a natural closure of 1 [ 1 , which is contained in both 2 and 2 . AFMC subsumes the branching temporal logic CTL and the dynamic logic PDL [FL79]. Formulas of AFMC can be symbolically evaluated in time linear in the structure [CS91,KVW00] While designers may prefer to use higher level logics to specify properties, model checking tools often proceed by evaluating the corresponding AFMC formulas [BRS99] Finally, it is hard to produce an ....

The concept of nondeterminism was introduced in the original paper of [Turing, 1936] although he did not develop the idea.

....of [Pratt, 1976] prompted by a suggestion of R. Moore, that it was actually shown how to extend modal logic in a useful way by considering a separate modality for every program. The first research devoted to propositional reasoning about programs seems to be that of [Fischer and Ladner, 1977; Fischer and Ladner, 1979] on PDL. As mentioned in the Preface, the general use of logical systems for reasoning about programs was suggested by [Engeler, 1967] Other semantics besides Kripke semantics have been studied; see [Berman, 1979; Nishimura, 1979; Kozen, 1979b; Trnkova and Reiterman, 1980; Kozen, 1980b; Pratt, ....
