A Logical Framework for the Representation and Verification of Context-aware Agents

Rakib, Abdur; Ul Haque, Hafiz Mahfooz

Abstract

© 2014, Springer Science+Business Media New York. We propose a logical framework for modelling and verifying context-aware multi-agent systems. We extend CTL∗ with belief and communication modalities, and the resulting logic 𝓛OCRS allows us to describe a set of rule-based reasoning agents with bound on time, memory and communication. The set of rules which are used to model a desired systems is derived from OWL 2 RL ontologies. We provide an axiomatization of the logic and prove it is sound and complete. We show how Maude rewriting system can be used to encode and verify interesting properties of 𝓛OCRS models using existing model checking techniques.
