Exploiting Modal Logic to Express Performance Measures
[chapter]
2000

In this paper we present a stochastic modal logic which can aid the construction of a reward structure over the model. We discuss its relationship to the underlying theory of PEPA. ...
The meaning of the specification language has its foundations in the stochastic modal logic. ...
Here we present a stochastic modal logic and explain how it may be used to specify performance measures over a PEPA model. ...

Fibred Coalgebraic Logic and Quantum Protocols
2014
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
We show how properties of the semantics of modalities are preserved under composition operations, and then apply the calculational aspect of our logic to produce an expressive set of modalities for reasoning ...
We extend the semantics of coalgebraic logic to this setting, and prove that this extension respects behavioural equivalence. ...
Acknowledgements I would like to thank Andreas Döring and Samson Abramsky for their feedback and suggestions. ...

In this paper, we exploit a modeling of this framework via labeled Markov Chains (LMCs) to provide a logical characterization of differential privacy: we consider a probabilistic variant of the Hennessy-Milner ...
The modal logic L We introduce the modal logic L of [14] , which extends HML [28] with a probabilistic choice modality that allows us to express the behavior of probability distributions over processes ...

Parallel and Symbolic Model Checking for Fixpoint Logic with Chop
2005
Electronical Notes in Theoretical Computer Science
We consider the model checking problem for FLC, a modal fixpoint logic capable of defining nonregular properties. ...
This paper presents a refinement of a symbolic model checker and discusses how to parallelise this algorithm. ...
A great step on the expressivity ladder regarding temporal logics was made with the introduction of FLC [9] , a fixpoint logic that extends the modal µcalculus with an operator for sequential composition ...

Belief modelling for situation awareness in human-robot interaction
2010
19th International Symposium in Robot and Human Interactive Communication
Key to our approach is the use of Markov Logic as a unified framework for inference over these beliefs. Markov Logic is a combination of first-order logic and probabilistic graphical models. ...
Its expressive power allows us to capture both the rich relational structure of the environment and the uncertainty arising from the noise and incompleteness of low-level sensory data. ...
First, the expression "this" is resolved to a particular entity. Since "this" is a (proximal) deictic, the resolution is performed on basis of saliency measures. ...

2022
arXiv
pre-print
To this end, we first suggest possible actions to enrich the application design towards sustainability, and finally describe how this additional information can be leveraged in the application workflow ...
This exploratory work aims to emphasize the awareness on the sustainability of applications by proposing a methodology for its evaluation. ...
Business rules enable to express conditions on the execution of an activity in a business process. They hide the complexity of the logic preventing the model to become too complex. ...

Probabilistic and Logical Beliefs
[chapter]
2008
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The setting for the integration is a highly expressive logic. The integration is explained in detail, as its comparison to other approaches to integrating logic and probability. ...
An illustrative example is given to motivate the usefulness of the ideas in agent applications. ...
To begin with, we use a much more expressive logic, modal higher-order logic. The higher-orderness will be essential to achieve the desired integration of logic and probability. ...

An algebra-based method to associate rewards with EMPA terms
[chapter]
1997
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The basic idea behind this method is to specify rewards within actions of EMPA terms, so it substantially di ers from methods based on modal logic. ...
We present a simple method to associate rewards with terms of the stochastic process algebra EMPA in order to make the speci cation and the computation of performance measures easier. ...
The idea is to express rewards by means of the Hennessy-Milner logic 4]: a logical formula is speci ed together with an arithmetical expression, and every state satisfying the formula is assigned the reward ...

How to reason without words: inference as categorization
2008
Cognitive Processing
Others reject such an anthropocentric conception of reasoning on the basis of similar performance by humans and animals in some reasoning tasks, such as transitive inference. ...
Finally, we explain how this account of reasoning applies to the kinds of transitive inferences that many nonhuman animals display. ...
Both of the authors benefitted from the comments and questions following presentation of these ideas to the IU Logic Seminar, and C.A. also acknowledges the useful questions and comments from audiences ...

A Model Checker for Value-Passing Mu-Calculus Using Logic Programming
[chapter]
2001
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Thus far, XMC has supported value-passing process languages, but has been limited to using the propositional fragment of modal mucalculus as the property specification logic. ...
Recent advances in logic programming have been successfully used to build practical verification toolsets, as evidenced by the XMC system. ...
Subsequently, we extended the model checker to XL (which has variables and values) by exploiting the power of the logic programming paradigm to manipulate and propagate substitutions. ...

Specifying Performance Measures for PEPA
[chapter]
1999
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The meaning of the specification language can be made formal by examining its foundations in a stochastic modal logic. A case-study is presented to illustrate the approach. ...
Tools compute the numerical solution of these models; however, the stochastic process algebra methodology lacks support for the specification and calculation of complex performance measures. ...
By exploiting the operators a modal logic supplies, it is possible to be more discriminating about which states should contribute to the reward measure. ...
