在基于时间区间的时态逻辑基础上，提出了一种处理主体并行行为与并发事件的逻辑理论框架。文章提出的逻辑系统将事件与动作置于同一个逻辑体系下，以时间区间为基础，深入分析了二者之间的关系，充分发挥了事件的作用，动作的描述得到简化。文章给出了逻辑系统的语法和语义描述，还提出了基于领域描述结构的并发事件冲突消解方法。     

TEMPORAL REASONING WITH THE MODAL LOGIC Z

This article presents a formal theory of concurrent actions that handles the qualification, ramification, and frame problems. The theory is capable of temporal explanation, i.e., reasoning forward and backward. The approach uses the modal logic Z to extend the work of Lifschitz and Rabinov on miracle-based temporal reasoning. The advantages of miracles for describing unknown actions are augmented with the ability to handle concurrent actions that can provide for the most economical explanation of state changes. For temporal explanation problems restricted to finite domains, it has a worst-case exponential decision procedure. The theory is as general as first-order logic in what it can express as preconditions and consequences of actions.     

并发系统中谓词行为图的行为时序逻辑表达

行为时序逻辑(TLA)组合时序逻辑与行为逻辑, 可以对并发系统进行描述与验证, 它引入动作和行为的概念, 使得系统和属性可用它的规约公式表示, 但存在用TLA描述复杂系统时TLA公式复杂且难以理解的不足。类似于状态转移图, 对于并发转移可以用谓词行为图进行图形化表示, 谓词行为图与行为时序逻辑规约具有相同的表达能力。介绍行为时序逻辑的语法、语义及简单推理规则, 用一个简单的实例说明使用谓词行为图去描述并发转移系统的有效性, 并用系统规约的TLA公式对谓词行为图表达能力进行证明, 表明两者具有等价性, 为描述和分析并发转换系统提供了一种可行的方法。

扩展时段时序逻辑的推理机制

该文在扩展时段时序逻辑的基础上提出了一种推理机制，这种推理机制基于时间Petri网模型及基本不等式规则，可由一组已知的扩展时段时序关系推出一些未知的扩展时段时序关系，对不确定时间段内发生的事件及其相互关系具有较好的描述能力，这种推理机制的优势在于定性地对扩展时段之间的时序关系进行推理分析，利用时间Petri网模型，可以对复杂时序逻辑关系进行化简，比单纯利用不等式规则的推理更直观，也更简单，是一种行之有效的方法。     

Programming Rational Agents in a Modal Action Logic

In this paper we describe a language for reasoning about actions that can be used for modelling and for programming rational agents. We propose a modal approach for reasoning about dynamic domains in a logic programming setting. Agent behavior is specified by means of complex actions which are defined using modal inclusion axioms. The language is able to handle knowledge producing actions as well as actions which remove information. The problem of reasoning about complex actions with incomplete knowledge is tackled and the temporal projection and planning problems is addressed; more specifically, a goal directed proof procedure is defined, which allows agents to reason about complex actions and to generate conditional plans. We give a non-monotonic solution for the frame problem by making use of persistency assumptions in the context of an abductive characterization. The language has been used for implementing an adaptive web-based system.

溯因推理问题的碰集求解方法

溯因推理为归纳与演绎推理之外的另一种重要的推理形式,在人工智能等领域有着广泛的应用.通俗地讲,溯因推理是从观察(结果)去推断原因的推理过程.不同于以往的研究思路,通过使用本原蕴含式和素蕴含,证明了可以把命题逻辑和命题模态逻辑系统S5中求溯因问题的极小解释转化为求对应集合的极小碰集问题.给出了求解溯因问题的一种新方法.

分析描述逻辑时态扩展的优缺点,同时结合实际应用需求,将时间当作具体领域加入到描述逻辑中来处理,给出带时态扩展的描述逻辑SHIOQ（T）的形式化描述,并给出SHIOQ（T）中概念、关系和实例的描述形式以及它们的语义解释,从而方便地实现时态知识的表达和推理。     

一类扩展的动态描述逻辑

作为描述逻辑的扩展,动态描述逻辑为语义Web服务的建模和推理提供了一种有效途径.在将语义Web服务建模为动作之后,动态描述逻辑从动作执行结果的角度提供了丰富的推理机制,但对于动作的执行过程却不能加以处理.借鉴Pratt关于命题动态逻辑的相关研究,一方面,对动态描述逻辑中动作的语义重新进行定义,将每个动作解释为由关于可能世界的序列组成的集合;另一方面,在动态描述逻辑中引入动作过程断言,用来对动作的执行过程加以刻画.在此基础上提出一类扩展的动态描述逻辑EDDL(X),其中的X表示从ALC(attributive language with complements)到SHOIN(D)等具有不同描述能力的描述逻辑.以X为描述逻辑ALCQO(attributive language with complements,qualified number restrictions and nominals)的情况为例,给出了EDDL(ALCQO)的表判定算法,并证明了算法的可终止性、可靠性和完备性.EDDL(X)可以从动作执行过程和动作执行结果两个方面对动作进行全面的刻画和推理,为语义Web服务的建模和推理提供了进一步的逻辑支持.     

CONSTRAINED RESOLUTION AND ABDUCTTVE TEMPORAL REASONING

This article presents our work on the effective implementation of abduction in temporal reasoning. This works builds on some results, both in the logic programming field and in the automated reasoning area. We have defined and implemented an abductive procedure, which is well adapted for temporal reasoning because it is based on a constrained resolution principle. Constrained resolution has two advantages for temporal reasoning: First, it allows us to deal efficiently with temporal ordering and equality predicates, which are otherwise too much trouble with classical resolution; second, it allows a restricted form of abduction where hypotheses are limited to ordering relationships. From the logic programming area, our work uses results and procedures developed by others in the abductive logic programming field. The procedure we define and implement in this work is relatively independent of the temporal formalism: It has been used with some reified temporal logics and with the event calculus. More generally it can be used on any point-based temporal formalism, provided that a correct and complete algorithm is available for checking the consistency of a set of temporal ordering relationships in this language.     

行为时态逻辑TLA定理系统证明及公平性研究

行为时态逻辑TLA(temporal logic of actions)能够在一种语言中同时表达模型程序与逻辑规则,是目前模型检测技术中一个较新的研究方向.为了理解行为时态逻辑与传统时态逻辑之间的理论联系,研究了时态逻辑的语义和定理系统,并根据行为时态逻辑TLA的自身特征指出了TLA中的行为属于时态逻辑T4系统.在此基础上严格的证明了TIA的定理系统及TLA中强公平性蕴涵弱公平性的重要性质,讨论了强公平性与弱公平性等价的条件.最后以实例说明了如何确定动作的强弱公平性,进而建立系统的TLA模型.     

A user-friendly interface to specify temporal properties of concurrent systems

In model checking environments, system requirements are usually expressed by means of temporal logic formulas. We propose a user-friendly interface (UFI) with the aim of simplifying the writing of concurrent system properties. The tool is endowed with a graphical interface that supplies a set of patterns from the natural language; the defined patterns constitute a logic (UFL) that is adequate to express the classes of properties usually checked on actual systems. Moreover, UFI is integrated with the CWB-NC tool-kit which is a verification environment based on process algebras and the mu-calculus temporal logic; UFI supports the automatic translation of UFL formulas into mu-calculus formulas and save the translation in the format required by the CWB-NC. Nevertheless, UFI is a flexible tool that can be easily integrated with other environments.
