Reasoning About the Safety of Information: From Logical Formalization to Operational Definition
نویسندگان
چکیده
We assume that safety of information stored in a database depends on the reliability of the agents who have performed the insertions in the database. We present a logic S to represent information safety, and to derive answers to standard queries and to safety queries. The design of this logic is based on signaling act theory. Two strong simplifications lead to a logic S” with two modalities to represent explicit beliefs and implicit beliefs. Then, we present an operational view of S” in terms of First Order Logic, with meta predicates, which is implemented by a Prolog meta program. It is proved that answers derived in S” and computed by the meta program are identical. This property gives a clear meaning to computed answers. keywords: Logic for Artificial Intelligence, Modal Logic, Reliability.

What definition of information would be emancipatory one?
Background and Aim: Human-information interaction, either in every day life or in research approaches, depends on pre-assumptions about “what information is”. Sometimes this pre-assumptions become axiomtic in a way that we must return to primary concerns about them to explore new social phenomenas. Information as an object is one of pre-assumptions. In this paper, the mentioned pre-assumptions ...
متن کاملExtending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths
Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...
متن کاملKant's Logic in the Critique of Practical Reason - a Logical Formalization of Kant's Practical Transcendental Argument Msc in Logic
Logic plays a fundamental role in Kant’s transcendental philosophy. The general presupposition is that Kant’s logic can be subsumed under the Aristotelian tradition. However, with respect to this presupposition some problems arise in Kant’s philosophy. This thesis takes a new approach to Kant’s logic: Instead of imposing a logical framework on Kant’s thought this thesis aims at deriving the log...
متن کاملThe comparison of aspects of quantitative reasoning models
Basic qualitative reasoning models are investigated by formalizing aspects of the qualitative modelling program Dynalearn. A logical formalization makes a generic analysis of the modelling structures possible. The formalization is used to talk about structural model aspects in formal terms. The paper deals with the structural aspects of the models. The results show that topics create many possi...
متن کاملGeneral recursion via coinductive types
A fertile field of research in theoretical computer science investigates the representation of general recursive functions in intensional type theories. Among the most successful approaches are: the use of wellfounded relations, implementation of operational semantics, formalization of domain theory, and inductive definition of domain predicates. Here, a different solution is proposed: exploiti...
