Modalities and Multimodalities
In the last two decades modal logic has undergone an explosive growth, to thepointthatacompletebibliographyofthisbranchoflogic,supposingthat someone were capable to compile it, would ?ll itself a ponderous volume. What is impressive in the growth of modal logic has not been so much the quick accumulation of results but the richness of its thematic dev- opments. In the 1960s, when Kripke semantics gave new credibility to the logic of modalities? which was already known and appreciated in the Ancient and Medieval times? no one could have foreseen that in a short time modal logic would become a lively source of ideas and methods for analytical philosophers,historians of philosophy,linguists, epistemologists and computer scientists.
Foundations of software science and computation structures ; Vol. 3921 ; 9th International conference, FOSSACS 2006, Held as part of the joint European conferences on theory and practice of software, ETAPS 2006, Vienna, Austria, March 25-31, 2006, proceedings
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Foundations of Software Science and Computation Structures, FOSSACS 2006, held in Vienna, Austria in March 2006 as part of ETAPS. The 28 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 107 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on mobile processes, software science, distributed computation, categorical models, real time and hybrid systems, process calculi, automata and logic, domains, lambda calculus, types, and security.
Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods ; 16th International Conference, TABLEAUX 2007, Aix en Provence, France, July 3-6, 2007, Proceedings
It covers the wide range of logics, from intuitionistic and substructural logics to modal logics (including temporal and dynamic logics), from many-valued logics to nonmonotonic logics, and from classical first-order logic to description logics.
Algebra and Coalgebra in Computer Science; First International Conference, CALCO 2005, Swansea, UK, September 3-6, 2005, Proceedings
CALCO, the Conference on Algebra and Coal-gebra in Computer Science, was created to bring together researchers and practitio-ners to exchange new results related to foundational aspects, and both traditional and emerging uses of algebras and coalgebras in computer science. CALCO 2005 was the first instance of this new conference. The interest that it generated in the scientific community suggests that it will not be the last. Indeed, it attracted as many as 62 submissions covering a wide range of topics roughly divided into two areas: Algebras and Coalgebras as Mathematical Objects: Automata and languages; categorical semantics; hybrid, probabilistic, and timed systems; inductive and coin-ductive methods; modal logics; relational systems and term rewriting.
25 Years of Model Checking : History, Achievements, Perspectives
Model checking technology is among the foremost applications of logic to computer science and computer engineering. The model checking community has achieved many breakthroughs, bridging the gap between theoretical computer science and hardware and software engineering, and it is reaching out to new challenging areas such as system biology and hybrid systems. Model checking is extensively used in the hardware industry and has also been applied to the verification of many types of software. Model checking has been introduced into computer science and electrical engineering curricula at universities worldwide and has become a universal tool for the analysis of systems.
