Complexity of the Logic for Multiagent Systems with Restricted Modal Context
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we continue our research in computational complexity of fragments of a particular belief-desire-intention (BDI) logic for cooperative problem solving (CPS) called TeamLog. The logic in question combines propositional multi-modal logic to express static aspects of CPS with propositional dynamic logic used for dynamic aspects of CPS. We concentrate here on the static fragment of the logic. The complexity of the satisfiability problem for the static fragment of TeamLog is known to be EXPTIME-complete, even if modal depth is bounded by a constant ≥ 2. We show a restriction on modal context of formulas that makes the problem PSPACE-complete without setting boundary on modal depth. Bounding modal depth, additionally, leads to NPTIME-completeness.

Complexity of multiagent BDI logics with restricted modal context
We present and discuss a novel language restriction for modal logics for multiagent systems that can reduce the complexity of the satisfiability problem from EXPTIME-hard to NPTIME-complete. In the discussion we focus on a particular BDI logic, called TeamLog, which is a logic for modelling cooperating groups of agents and which possesses some of the characteristics typical to other BDI logics....
متن کاملEfficient Reasoning in Multiagent Knowledge Bases
In many applications, agents must reason about what other agents know, whether to coordinate with them or to come out on top in a competitive situation. However in general, reasoning in a multiagent epistemic logic such as Kn has high complexity. In this paper, we look at a restricted class of knowledge bases that are sets of modal literals. We call these proper epistemic knowledge bases (PEKBs...
متن کاملComplexity issues in multimodal logics for multiagent systems
In this thesis we study the complexity of the satisfiability problem for TeamLog, a representative and widely recognized multimodal formalism for multiagent systems. We investigate a fragment of TeamLog, called TeamLogind, designed for specifying individual agents as well as full TeamLog, that allows for specifying group aspects of multiagent systems, in particular teamwork. We show that the sa...
متن کاملModal Logics for Reasoning about Multiagent Systems
It becomes evident in recent years a surge of interest to applications of modal logics for specification and validation of complex systems. It holds in particular for combined logics of knowledge, time and actions for reasoning about multiagent systems (Dixon, Nalon & Fisher, 2004; Fagin, Halpern, Moses & Vardi, 1995; Halpern & Vardi, 1986; Halpern, van der Meyden & Vardi, 2004; van der Hoek & ...
متن کاملEveryone Knows That Someone Knows: Quantifiers over Epistemic Agents
Modal logic S5 is commonly viewed as an epistemic logic that captures the most basic properties of knowledge. Kripke proved a completeness theorem for the firstorder modal logic S5 with respect to a possible worlds semantics. A multiagent version of the propositional S5 as well as a version of the propositional S5 that describes properties of distributed knowledge in multiagent systems has also...
