39Equational approach to argumentation networksArgument and Computation 3 (2-3). 2012.This paper provides equational semantics for Dung's argumentation networks. The network nodes get numerical values in [0,1], and are supposed to satisfy certain equations. The solutions to these equations correspond to the ?extensions? of the network. This approach is very general and includes the Caminada labelling as a special case, as well as many other so-called network extensions, support systems, higher level attacks, Boolean networks, dependence on time, and much more. The equational appr…Read more

68Naming worlds in modal and temporal logicJournal of Logic, Language and Information 11 (1): 29-65. 2002.In this paper we suggest adding to predicate modal and temporal logic a locality predicate W which gives names to worlds (or time points). We also study an equal time predicate D(x, y)which states that two time points are at the same distance from the root. We provide the systems studied with complete axiomatizations and illustrate the expressive power gained for modal logic by simulating other logics. The completeness proofs rely on the fairly intuitive notion of a configuration in order to use…Read more

127A theory of hypermodal logics: Mode shifting in modal logic (review)Journal of Philosophical Logic 31 (3): 211-243. 2002.A hypermodality is a connective □ whose meaning depends on where in the formula it occurs. The paper motivates the notion and shows that hypermodal logics are much more expressive than traditional modal logics. In fact we show that logics with very simple K hypermodalities are not complete for any neighbourhood frames

52Fibred semantics and the weaving of logics part 1: Modal and intuitionistic logicsJournal of Symbolic Logic 61 (4): 1057-1120. 1996.This is Part 1 of a paper on fibred semantics and combination of logics. It aims to present a methodology for combining arbitrary logical systems L i , i ∈ I, to form a new system L I . The methodology `fibres' the semantics K i of L i into a semantics for L I , and `weaves' the proof theory (axiomatics) of L i into a proof system of L I . There are various ways of doing this, we distinguish by different names such as `fibring', `dovetailing' etc, yielding different systems, denoted by L F I , L…Read more

109Neural-Symbolic Cognitive ReasoningSpringer. 2009.Humans are often extraordinary at performing practical reasoning. There are cases where the human computer, slow as it is, is faster than any artificial intelligence system. Are we faster because of the way we perceive knowledge as opposed to the way we represent it? The authors address this question by presenting neural network models that integrate the two most fundamental phenomena of cognition: our ability to learn from experience, and our ability to reason from what has been learned. This b…Read more

26Compiled Labelled Deductive Systems: A Uniform Presentation of Non-classical LogicsInstitute of Physics/Research Studies Press. 2004.K. Broda, Dov M. Gabbay, Alessandra Russo and LuÍs C. Lamb argue that though the many families of logic may seem to differ in their logical nature, it is possible to provide them with a unifying logical framework whenever their semantics is axiomatizable in first-order logic. They provide such a framework based on the labeled deductive system methodology, and demonstrate how it works in such families as normal modal logics, conditional logics of normality, the modal logic of elsewhere, the multi…Read more

29The Functional Interpretation of the Existential QuantifierLogic Journal of the IGPL 3 (2-3): 243-290. 1995.We are concerned with showing how ‘labelled’ Natural Deduction presentation systems based on an extension of the so-called Curry-Howard functional interpretation can help us understand and generalise most of the deduction calculi designed to deal with the logical notion of existential quantification. We present the labelling mechanism for ‘’ using what we call ‘ɛ-terms’, which have the form of ‘a’) in a dual form to the ‘Ax.f’ terms of in the sense that the ‘witness’ is chosen at the time of ass…Read more

36Dung’s Argumentation is Essentially Equivalent to Classical Propositional Logic with the Peirce–Quine DaggerLogica Universalis 5 (2): 255-318. 2011.In this paper we show that some versions of Dung’s abstract argumentation frames are equivalent to classical propositional logic. In fact, Dung’s attack relation is none other than the generalised Peirce–Quine dagger connective of classical logic which can generate the other connectives ${\neg, \wedge, \vee, \to}$ of classical logic. After establishing the above correspondence we offer variations of the Dung argumentation frames in parallel to variations of classical logic, such as resource logi…Read more

21Łukasiewicz Logic: From Proof Systems To Logic ProgrammingLogic Journal of the IGPL 13 (5): 561-585. 2005.We present logic programming style “goal-directed” proof methods for Łukasiewicz logic Ł that both have a logical interpretation, and provide a suitable basis for implementation. We introduce a basic version, similar to goal-directed calculi for other logics, and make refinements to improve efficiency and obtain termination. We then provide an algorithm for fuzzy logic programming in Rational Pavelka logic RPL, an extension of Ł with rational constants

37Independence — Revision and DefaultsStudia Logica 92 (3): 381-394. 2009.We investigate different aspects of independence here, in the context of theory revision, generalizing slightly work by Chopra, Parikh, and Rodrigues, and in the context of preferential reasoning.

26Annotation Theories over Finite GraphsStudia Logica 93 (2): 147-180. 2009.In the current paper we consider theories with vocabulary containing a number of binary and unary relation symbols. Binary relation symbols represent labeled edges of a graph and unary relations represent unique annotations of the graph's nodes. Such theories, which we call annotation theories^ can be used in many applications, including the formalization of argumentation, approximate reasoning, semantics of logic programs, graph coloring, etc. We address a number of problems related to annotati…Read more

122Roadmap for preferential logicsJournal of Applied Non-Classical Logics 19 (1): 43-95. 2009.We give a systematic overview of semantical and logical rules in non monotonic and related logics. We show connections and sometimes subtle differences, and also compare such rules to uses of the notion of size.

101What is a logical system? (edited book)Oxford University Press. 1994.This superb collection of papers focuses on a fundamental question in logic and computation: What is a logical system? With contributions from leading researchers--including Ian Hacking, Robert Kowalski, Jim Lambek, Neil Tennent, Arnon Avron, L. Farinas del Cerro, Kosta Dosen, and Solomon Feferman--the book presents a wide range of views on how to answer such a question, reflecting current, mainstream approaches to logic and its applications. Written to appeal to a diverse audience of readers, W…Read more

16Fibred Security LanguageStudia Logica 92 (3). 2009.We study access control policies based on the says operator by introducing a logical framework called Fibred Security Language (FSL) which is able to deal with features like joint responsibility between sets of principals and to identify them by means of first-order formulas. FSL is based on a multimodal logic methodology. We first discuss the main contributions from the expressiveness point of view, we give semantics for the language (both for classical and intuitionistic fragment), we then pro…Read more
