  3. David Harel, Dexter Kozen, and Jerzy Tiuryn. Dynamic Logic. MIT Press, 2000.
    Keywords: dynamic logic, modal logic, honours reading.

    Abstract: "Among the many approaches to formal reasoning about programs, Dynamic Logic enjoys the singular advantage of being strongly related to classical logic. Its variants constitute natural generalizations and extensions of classical formalisms. For example, Propositional Dynamic Logic (PDL) can be described as a blend of three complementary classical ingredients: propositional calculus, modal logic, and the algebra of regular events. In First-Order Dynamic Logic (DL), the propositional calculus is replaced by classical first-order predicate calculus. Dynamic Logic is a system of remarkable unity that is theoretically rich as well as of practical value. It can be used for formalizing correctness specifications and proving rigorously that those specifications are met by a particular program. Other uses include determining the equivalence of programs, comparing the expressive power of various programming constructs, and synthesizing programs from specifications. This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to Dynamic Logic. It is divided into three parts. The first part reviews the appropriate fundamental concepts of logic and computability theory and can stand alone as an introduction to these topics. The second part discusses PDL and its variants, and the third part discusses DL and its variants. Examples are provided throughout, and exercises and a short historical section are included at the end of each chapter."

    Note: Publisher: Elsevier, Netherlands.
    Keywords: agent programming languages, honours reading.

    Abstract: "For pt.II see ibid., no.108, p.257-307 (1999). In pt.I (ibid., no.108, p.179-255, 1999), there are introduced techniques to build agents on top of arbitrary data structures, and to {"}agentize{"} new/existing programs. Provided are a series of successively more sophisticated semantics for such agent systems; as these semantics become epistemically more desirable, a computational price may need to be paid. In this paper, we identify the class of weakly regular agents, by first identifying a fragment of weakly regular agent programs (WRAP). It is shown that WRAPs are definable via three parameters; safety, conflict-freedom and deontic stratifiability. Algorithms for each of these are developed. A weakly regular agent is then defined in terms of these concepts, and a regular agent is one that satisfies an additional boundedness property. We then describe a polynomial algorithm that computes (under suitable assumptions) the reasonable status set semantics of regular agents-this semantics is epistemically the most desirable. Though this semantics is coNP-complete for arbitrary agent programs, it is polynomially computable via our algorithm for regular agents. Finally, we describe our implementation architecture and provide details of how we have implemented RAPs, together with experimental results. (39 References)."

    Keywords: agent programming languages, multiagent coordination, graph theory, constraint satisfaction, honours reading, DCOP, DCSP.

    Abstract: "We compare tractable classes of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). We first give a uniform presentation of the major structural CSP decomposition methods. We then introduce a new class of tractable CSPs based on the concept of hypertree decomposition developed in database theory, and analyze the cost of solving CSPs having bounded hypertree-width. We provide a framework for comparing parametric decomposition-based methods according to tractability criteria and compare the most relevant methods. We show that the method of hypertree decomposition dominates the others in the case of general CSPs (i.e., CSPs of unbounded arity). We also make comparisons for the restricted case of binary CSPs. Finally, we consider the application of decomposition methods to the dual graph of a hypergraph. In fact, this technique is often used to exploit binary decomposition methods for nonbinary CSPs. However, even in this case, the hypertree decomposition method turns out to be the most general method."

    Note: Publisher: AI Access Foundation & Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, USA.
    Keywords: causality, honours reading, counterfactuals.

    Abstract: "Causal models defined in terms of a collection of equations, as defined by J. Pearl (1995, 1999), are axiomatized. Axiomatizations are provided for three successively more general classes of causal models: (1) the class of recursive theories (those without feedback), (2) the class of theories where the solutions to the equations are unique, and (3) arbitrary theories (where the equations may not have solutions and, if they do, they are not necessarily unique). It is shown that to reason about causality in the most general third class, we must extend the language used by D. Galles and J. Pearl (1997, 1998). In addition, the complexity of the decision procedures is characterized for all the languages and classes of models considered. (14 References)."
