Probabilistic resource-bounded alternating-time temporal logic (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper extends resource-bounded ATL (RB-ATL)
with probabilistic reasoning and provides the syntax and semantics of the resulting logic, probabilistic resource-bounded ATL (pRB-ATL).

Verifying resource requirements for ontology-driven rule-based agents
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recent efforts towards the Semantic Web have resulted in powerful languages such as Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) based on OWL-DL and RuleML. Rule languages and inference engines incorporate reasoning capabilities to Semantic Web application syst... Read More about Verifying resource requirements for ontology-driven rule-based agents.

Analysing the predictivity of features to characterise the search space
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Exploring search spaces is one of the most unpredictable challenges that has attracted the interest of researchers for decades. One way to handle unpredictability is to characterise the search spaces and take actions accordingly. A well-characterised...

Memory-constrained context-aware reasoning
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The context-aware computing paradigm introduces environments, known as smart spaces, which can unobtrusively and proactively assist their users. These systems are currently mostly implemented on mobile platforms considering various techniques, includ... Read More about Memory-constrained context-aware reasoning.

Component-wise instruction-cache behavior prediction
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The precise determination of worst-case execution times (WCETs) for programs is mostly being performed on fully linked executables, since all needed information is available and all machine parameters influencing cache performance are available to th...

Verification of resource requirements of distributed reasoning agents
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present a framework for verifying systems composed of heterogeneous reasoning agents, in which each agent may have differing knowledge and inferential capabilities, and where the resources each agent is prepared to commit to a goal (time, memory a...

Verifying time, memory and communication bounds in systems of reasoning agents
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present a framework for verifying systems composed of heterogeneous reasoning agents, in which each agent may have differing knowledge and inferential capabilities, and where the resources each agent is prepared to commit to a goal (time, memory a...

Verifying time and communication costs of rule-based reasoners
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present a framework for the automated verification of time and communication requirements in systems of distributed rule-based reasoning agents which allows us to determine how many rule-firing cycles are required to solve the problem, how many me...

Reasoning about other agents' beliefs under bounded resources
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There exists a considerable body of work on epistemic logics for bounded reasoners where the bound can be time, memory, or the amount of information the reasoners can exchange. In much of this work the epistemic logic is used as a meta-logic to reaso... Read More about Reasoning about other agents' beliefs under bounded resources.

Verifying resource requirements for distributed rule-based systems
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Rule-based systems are rapidly becoming an important component of ‘mainstream’ computing technologies, for example in business process modelling, the semantic web, sensor networks etc. However, while rules provide a flexible way of implementing such...

A logic for coalitions with bounded resources
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Recent work on Alternating-Time Temporal Logic and Coalition Logic has allowed the expression of many interesting properties of coalitions and strategies. However there is no natural way of expressing resource requirements in these logics. This paper... Read More about A logic for coalitions with bounded resources.

Expressing properties of coalitional ability under resource bounds
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We introduce Coalition Logic for Resource Games (CLRG) which extends Coalition Logic by allowing explicit reasoning about resource endowments of coalitions of agents and resource bounds on strategies. We show how to express interesting properties of... Read More about Expressing properties of coalitional ability under resource bounds.

Resource-bounded alternating-time temporal logic
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Many problems in AI and multi-agent systems research are most naturally formulated in terms of the abilities of a coalition of agents. There exist several excellent logical tools for reasoning about coalitional ability. However, coalitional ability c... Read More about Resource-bounded alternating-time temporal logic.

Automated verification of resource requirements in multi-agent systems using abstraction
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We describe a framework for the automated verification of multi-agent systems which do distributed problem solving, e.g. query answering. Each reasoner uses facts, messages and Horn clause rules to derive new information. We show how to verify correc...

Improving the efficiency of Market Information Analysis Systems using GIS, Polygon and Spatial Databases
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An organization's future developments are influenced by its managements' decisions. This can only happen by strengthening research and development strategies. Market monitoring and analyzing systems are designed to provide an organized flow of inform...

Modeling and verifying context-aware non-monotonic reasoning agents
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. This paper complements our previous work on formal modeling of resource-bounded context-aware systems, which handle inconsistent context information using defeasible reasoning, by focusing on automated analysis and verification. A case s... Read More about Modeling and verifying context-aware non-monotonic reasoning agents.

Advancing underutilized crops knowledge using SWRL-enabled ontologies - A survey and early experiment
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Due to their powerful knowledge representation formalism and associated inference mechanisms, ontology-based approaches have been increasingly adopted to formally represent domain knowledge. We propose the use of ontologies to advance knowledge-shari... Read More about Advancing underutilized crops knowledge using SWRL-enabled ontologies - A survey and early experiment.

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014. We develop a logical model for resource-bounded contextaware multi-agent systems which handles inconsistent context information using non-monotonic reasoning. We extend the temporal logic CTL* wit...
