Reasoning About Knowledge
Reasoning about knowledge—particularly the knowledge of agents who reason about the world and each other's knowledge—was once the exclusive province of philosophers and puzzle solvers. More recently, this type of reasoning has been shown to play a key role in a surprising number of contexts, from understanding conversations to the analysis of distributed computer algorithms. Reasoning About Knowledge is the first book to provide a general discussion of approaches to reasoning about knowledge and its applications to distributed systems, artificial intelligence, and game theory. It brings eight years of work by the authors into a cohesive framework for understanding and analyzing reasoning about knowledge that is intuitive, mathematically well founded, useful in practice, and widely applicable. The book is almost completely self-contained and should be accessible to readers in a variety of disciplines, including computer science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science, and game theory. Each chapter includes exercises and bibliographic notes.
Formal Methods and Software Engineering
Formal engineering methods are changing the way that software systems are - veloped.Withlanguageandtoolsupport,theyarebeingusedforautomaticcode generation, and for the automatic abstraction and checking of implementations. In the future, they will be used at every stage of development: requirements, speci?cation, design, implementation, testing, and documentation. The ICFEM series of conferences aims to bring together those interested in the application of formal engineering methods to computer systems. Researchers and practitioners, from industry, academia, and government, are encouraged to attend,andtohelpadvancethestateoftheart.Authorsarestronglyencouraged to make their ideas as accessibl...
Distributed Algorithms
This volume contains the proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Distributed Algorithms, held near Bari, Italy, September 24-26, 1990. The workshop was a forum for researchers, students and other interested persons to discuss recent results and trends in the design and analysis of distributed algorithms for communication networks and decentralized systems. The volume includes all 28 papers presented at the workshop, covering current research in such aspects of distributed algorithm design as distributed combinatorial algorithms, distributed algorithms on graphs, distributed algorithms for new types of decentralized systems, distributed data structures, synchronization and load-balancing, distributed algorithms for control and communication, design and verification of network protocols, routing algorithms, fail-safe and fault-tolerant distributed algorithms, distributed database techniques, algorithms for transaction management and replica control, and other related topics.
Logic and the Modalities in the Twentieth Century
Logic and the Modalities in the Twentieth Century is an indispensable research tool for anyone interested in the development of logic, including researchers, graduate and senior undergraduate students in logic, history of logic, mathematics, history of mathematics, computer science and artificial intelligence, linguistics, cognitive science, argumentation theory, philosophy, and the history of ideas.This volume is number seven in the eleven volume Handbook of the History of Logic. It concentrates on the development of modal logic in the 20th century, one of the most important undertakings in logic's long history. Written by the leading researchers and scholars in the field, the volume explor...
Distributed Computing and Networking
This book constitutes the fully refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Distributed Computing and Networking, ICDCN 2008 - formerly known as IWDC (International Workshop on Distributed Computing), held in Kolkata, India, in January 2008. The 30 revised full papers and 27 revised short papers presented together with 3 keynote talks and 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected from 185 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections.
Rational Choice
A nontechnical, concise, and rigorous introduction to the rational choice paradigm, focusing on basic insights applicable in fields ranging from economics to philosophy. This book offers a rigorous, concise, and nontechnical introduction to some of the fundamental insights of rational choice theory. It draws on formal theories of microeconomics, decision making, games, and social choice, and on ideas developed in philosophy, psychology, and sociology. Itzhak Gilboa argues that economic theory has provided a set of powerful models and broad insights that have changed the way we think about everyday life. He focuses on basic insights of the rational choice paradigm—the general conceptualizat...
Structural Information and Communication Complexity
This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 25th International Colloquium on Structural Information and Communication Complexity, SIROCCO 2018, held in Ma'ale HaHamisha, Israel, in June 2018. The 23 full papers and 8 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 47 submissions. They are devoted to the study of the interplay between structural knowledge, communications, and computing in decentralized systems of multiple communicating entities and cover a large range of topics.

Logic for Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Logic Programming, Artificial Intelligence, and Reasoning, LPAR 2003, held in Almaty, Kazakhstan in September 2003. The 27 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 65 submissions. The papers address all current issues in logic programming, automated reasoning, and AI logics in particular description logics, proof theory, logic calculi, formal verification, model theory, game theory, automata, proof search, constraint systems, model checking, and proof construction.
Logic, Epistemology, and the Unity of Science
The first volume in this new series explores, through extensive co-operation, new ways of achieving the integration of science in all its diversity. The book offers essays from important and influential philosophers in contemporary philosophy, discussing a range of topics from philosophy of science to epistemology, philosophy of logic and game theoretical approaches. It will be of interest to philosophers, computer scientists and all others interested in the scientific rationality.
