Answer set programming based on propositional satisfiability

E Giunchiglia, Y Lierler, M Maratea - Journal of Automated reasoning, 2006 - Springer
Answer set programming (ASP) emerged in the late 1990s as a new logic programming
paradigm that has been successfully applied in various application domains. Also motivated …

Fast decomposition of temporal logic specifications for heterogeneous teams

K Leahy, A Jones, CI Vasile - IEEE Robotics and Automation …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org

The MSO theory of connectedly communicating processes

P Madhusudan, PS Thiagarajan, S Yang - International Conference on …, 2005 - Springer
We identify a network of sequential processes that communicate by synchronizing frequently
on common actions. More precisely, we demand that there is a bound k such that if the …

Asynchronous games over tree architectures
