A Tableau System for Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic over Finite Linear Orders: An Implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Interval temporal logics are quite expressive temporal logics, which turn out to be difficult to deal with in many respects. Even finite satisfiability of simple interval temporal logics presents non-trivial technical issues when it comes to the implementation of efficient tableaubased decision procedures. We focus our attention on the logic of Allen’s relation meets, a.k.a. Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic (RPNL), interpreted over finite linear orders. Starting from a high-level description of a tableau system, we developed a first working implementation of a decision procedure for RPNL, and we made it accessible from the web. We report and analyze the outcomes of some initial tests.

Optimal Tableaux for Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic over Linear Orders
The study of interval temporal logics on linear orders is a meaningful research area in computer science and artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, even when restricted to propositional languages, most interval logics turn out to be undecidable. Decidability has been usually recovered by imposing severe syntactic and/or semantic restrictions. In the last years, tableau-based decision procedure...
متن کاملOptimal Tableau Systems for Propositional Neighborhood Logic over All, Dense, and Discrete Linear Orders
In this paper, we focus our attention on tableau systems for the propositional interval logic of temporal neighborhood (Propositional Neighborhood Logic, PNL for short). PNL is the proper subset of Halpern and Shoham’s modal logic of intervals whose modalities correspond to Allen’s relations meets and met by. We first prove by a modeltheoretic argument that the satisfiability problem for PNL ov...
متن کاملA Tableau-Based Decision Procedure for Right Propositional Neighborhood Logic
Propositional interval temporal logics are quite expressive temporal logics that allow one to naturally express statements that refer to time intervals. Unfortunately, most such logics turned out to be (highly) undecidable. To get decidability, severe syntactic and/or semantic restrictions have been imposed to interval-based temporal logics that make it possible to reduce them to point-based on...
متن کاملFirst Steps towards Automated Synthesis of Tableau Systems for Interval Temporal Logics
Interval temporal logics are difficult to deal with in many respects. In the last years, various meaningful fragments of Halpern and Shoham’s modal logic of time intervals have been shown to be decidable with complexities that range from NP-complete to non-primitive recursive. However, even restricting the attention to finite interval structures, the step from modeltheoretic decidability result...
متن کاملA General Tableau Method for Propositional Interval Temporal Logics
In this paper, we focus our attention on tableau methods for propositional interval temporal logics. These logics provide a natural framework for representing and reasoning about temporal properties in several areas of computer science. However, while various tableau methods have been developed for linear and branching time point-based temporal logics, not much work has been done on tableau met...
