چکیده

We propose a non-standard modal logic for specifying agent domains where the agent’s actuators and sensors are noisy, causing uncertainty in action and perception. The logic is multi-modal, indexed with actions; the logic is also augmented with observation objects to facilitate knowledge engineers dealing with explicit observations in the environment, and it includes a notion of probability. A tableau method is provided for proving decidability of the proposed logic. It is our conjecture that the tableau rules are complete with respect to the semantics. The proof does not yet exist, however, we discuss the current approach of the proof and provide some examples to motivate our conjecture.

A Logic for Specifying Stochastic Actions and Observations

We present a logic inspired by partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) theory for specifying agent domains where the agent’s actuators and sensors are noisy (causing uncertainty). The language features modalities for actions and predicates for observations. It includes a notion of probability to represent the uncertainties, and the expression of rewards and costs are also catered f...

Specifying and verifying interaction protocols in a temporal action logic

In this paper we develop a logical framework for specifying and verifying systems of communicating agents and interaction protocols. The framework is based on Dynamic Linear Time Temporal Logic (DLTL), which extends LTL by strengthening the until operator by indexing it with the regular programs of dynamic logic. The framework provides a simple formalization of the communicative actions in term...

A Probabilistic Doxastic Temporal Logic for Reasoning about Beliefs in Multi-agent Systems

We present Probabilistic Doxastic Temporal (PDT) Logic, a formalism to represent and reason about probabilistic beliefs and their temporal evolution in multi-agent systems. This formalism builds upon recent work on APT Logic. It enables the quantification of beliefs through probability intervals and incorporates the concepts of frequency functions and epistemic actions. We show how agents can u...

Specifying and Verifying Systems of Communicating Agents in a Temporal Action Logic

In this paper we develop a logical framework for specifying and verifying systems of communicating agents. The framework is based on a Dynamic Linear Time Temporal Logic (DLTL). It provides a simple formalization of the communicative actions in terms of their effects and preconditions and the specification of an interaction protocol by means of temporal constraints. We adopt a social approach t...

A Combined Fuzzy Logic and Analytical Hierarchy Process Method for Optimal Selection and Locating of Pedestrian Crosswalks

One of the main challenges for transportation engineers is the consideration of pedestrian safety as the most vulnerable aspect of the transport system. In many countries around the world, a large number of accidents recorded by the police are composed of accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles, for example when pedestrians may be struck by passing vehicles when crossing the street. Carefu...
