Abstract: The paper addresses the problem of computing siphons and traps in a standard Petri net. In particular, starting from a clear formulation in terms of predicate logic, it is shown how binary ...

Abstract: Inductive logic programming (ILP) is a form of machine learning that induces rules from data using the language and syntax of logic programming. A rule construction algorithm forms rules ...

Predicate logic is an extension of propositional logic. Here we consider what is called first-order predicate logic, abbreviated FOL (sometimes abbreviated PL1, not to be confused with the programming ...

A new formalism for predicate logic is introduced, with a non-standard method of binding variables, which allows a compositional formalization of certain anaphoric constructions, including 'donkey ...

Picat is a new logic-based programming language. In many ways, Picat is similar to Prolog, especially B-Prolog, but it has functions in addition to predicates, pattern-matching instead of unification ...

Logic is among the oldest and most foundational of the university disciplines. The goal is to equip students with most general possible framework for sound and rigorous reasoning — one that works ...
