A Path in the Jungle of Logics for Multi-agent System: On the Relation between General Game-playing Logics and Seeing-to-it-that Logics

چکیده
In the recent years, several concurrent logical systems for reasoning about agency and social interaction and for representing game properties have been proposed. The aim of the present paper is to put some order in this ‘jungle’ of logics by studying the relationship between the dynamic logic of agency DLA and the game description language GDL. The former has been proposed as a variant of the logic of agency STIT in which agents’ action are named, while the latter has been introduced in AI as a formal language for reasoning about general game-playing. The paper provides complexity results for the satisfiability problems of both DLA and GDL as well as a polynomial embedding of GDL into DLA.

Recent years have witnessed a parallel and seemingly contradictory trend towards both the standardization and the customization of healthcare and medical treatment. Here, we explore what is meant by ‘standardization’ and ‘customization’ in healthcare settings and explore the implications of these changes for healthcare delivery. We frame the paradox of these divergent and opposing factors in te...
