We address the problem of constructing multiagent systems by coordinating heterogeneous, autonomous agents, whose internal designs may not be fully known. A major application area...
This paper reports on the design and implementation of FLORA -- a powerful DOOD system that incorporates the features of F-logic, HiLog, and Transaction Logic. FLORA is implemented...
We present a query answering technique based on notions and results from modal Correspondence Theory. It allows us to answer a wide family of conjunctive queries by polynomial redu...
In this paper, we investigate the use of Description Logic (DL) for representing Product Behavioral constraints in Computer Aided Design (CAD) Systems. In an integrated design app...
A default conditional α → β has most often been informally interpreted as a defeasible version of a classical conditional, usually the material conditional. That is, the intui...
