The now well-established series of International Colloquia on Theoretical - pects of Computing (ICTAC) brings together practitionersand researchersfrom academia, industry and government to present research results, and exchange experience and ideas. Beyond these scholarly goals, another main purpose is to promote cooperation in research and education between participants and their institutions, from developing and industrial countries. ThisvolumecontainsthepaperspresentedatICTAC2010.Itwasheldduring September 1–3 in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Therewere68submissionsbyauthorsfrom24countriesallaroundthe world. Each submission was reviewed by at least three, and on average ...
Description Logics (DLs) is a family of formalisms used to represent knowledge of a domain. They are equipped with a formal logic-based semantics. Knowledge representation systems based on description logics provide various inference capabilities that deduce implicit knowledge from the explicitly represented knowledge. A Proof Theory for Description Logics introduces Sequent Calculi and Natural Deduction for some DLs (ALC, ALCQ). Cut-elimination and Normalization are proved for the calculi. The author argues that such systems can improve the extraction of computational content from DLs proofs for explanation purposes.
This book collects the revised selected proceedings of the First International Symposium in Molecular Logic and Computational Synthetic Biology ( MLCSB), held in Chile, Santiago, in December 2018. The volume contains 7 full revised papers along with 2 surveys from 19 submissions presented at the symposium. One of the goals of the MLCSB 2018 was to explore the potential of molecular logic frameworks to study the emerging behavioural patterns in biological networks, combining discrete, continuous and stochastic features, and resorting both to specific or general-purpose analysis and verification techniques.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Fundamentals of Software Engineering, FSEN 2019, held in Tehran, Iran, in May 2019. The 14 full papers and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. The topics of interest in FSEN span over all aspects of formal methods, especially those related to advancing the application of formal methods in the software industry and promoting their integration with practical engineering techniques. The papers are organized in topical sections on agent based systems, theorem proving, learning, verification, distributed algorithms, and program analysis.
This book constitutes the proceedings of the First International Workshop on Dynamic Logic, DALI 2017, held in Brasilia, Brazil, in September 2017. Both its theoretical relevance and practical potential make Dynamic Logic a topic of interest in a number of scientific venues, from wide-scope software engineering conferences to modal logic specific events. The workshop is promoted by an R&D project on dynamic logics for cyber-physical systems. The 12 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 25 submissions. The workshop is based on the project DaLí – Dynamic logics for cyber-physical systems: towards contract based design.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th German Conference on Multiagent Systems Technologies, MATES 2009, held in Hamburg, Germany in September 2009 - colocated with the 10th International Workshop on Computational Logic in Multi-Agent Systems (CLIMA X) and the 5th International Workshop on Modelling of Objects, Components, and Agents (MOCA 2009). The 14 revised full papers, 10 short papers, and 5 exhibition papers presented together with one invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 44 submissions. The papers present and discuss the latest advances of research and development in the area of autonomous agents and multiagent systems ranging from theoretical and methodological issues to applications in various fields.
This comprehensive collection of original essays written by an international group of scholars addresses the central themes in Latin American philosophy. Represents the most comprehensive survey of historical and contemporary Latin American philosophy available today Comprises a specially commissioned collection of essays, many of them written by Latin American authors Examines the history of Latin American philosophy and its current issues, traces the development of the discipline, and offers biographical sketches of key Latin American thinkers Showcases the diversity of approaches, issues, and styles that characterize the field
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 13th International Colloquium on Theoretical Aspects of Computing, ICTAC 2016, held in Taipei, Taiwan, in October 2016. The 23 revised full papers presented together with two short papers, two invited papers and one abstract of an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 60 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on program verification; design, synthesis and testing; calculi; specifications; composition and transformation; automata; temporal logics; tool and short papers.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th Brazilian Symposium on Artificial Intelligence, SBIA 2008, held in Salvador, Brazil, in October 2008. The 27 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited lectures and 3 tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from 142 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on computer vision and pattern recognition, distributed AI: autonomous agents, multi-agent systems and game knowledge representation and reasoning, machine learning and data mining, natural language processing, and robotics.
"Latin America constitutes a region well-endowed with sovereign nations, cultural differences, and varying states of development and political stability. The end of the cold war and the decline of revolutionary movements and regimes has cast political perceptions of the region in a new light even as it has wrought momentous changes in the individual countries themselves. Latin American Political Yearbook: 1997 provides a comprehensive overview, analysis, and summary of the major political and economic trends and events in Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean both for their significance within special countries, the entire region, and relations with the world at large.Elec...
