Logic, Language, Information and Computation: 17th International Workshop, WoLLIC 2010, Brasilia, Brazil, July 6-9, 2010, Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, Vol. 6188)

Annotation This book is edited in collaboration with FoLLI, the Association of Logic, Language and Information. It constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation, WoLLIC 2010, held in Brasilia, Brazil, in July 2010. The book presents 7 invited talks together with 13 papers which were carefully reviewed and selected from 32 submissions. The papers cover some of the most active areas of research on the frontiers between computation, logic, and linguistics, with particular interest in cross-disciplinary topics. Typical areas of interest are: foundations of computing and programming; novel computation models and paradigms; broad notions of proof and belief; formal methods in software and hardware development; logical approach to natural language and reasoning; logics of programs, actions and resources; foundational aspects of information organization, search, flow, sharing, and protection Content: Front Matter....Pages - Entailment Multipliers: An Algebraic Characterization of Validity for Classical and Modal Logics....Pages 1-18 A CTL-Based Logic for Program Abstractions....Pages 19-33 Application of Logic to Integer Sequences: A Survey....Pages 34-41 The Two-Variable Fragment with Counting Revisited....Pages 42-54 Intuitionistic Logic and Computability Theory....Pages 55-57 Foundations of Satisfiability Modulo Theories....Pages 58-58 Logical Form as a Determinant of Cognitive Processes....Pages 59-83 Formal Lifetime Reliability Analysis Using Continuous Random Variables....Pages 84-97 Modal Logics with Counting....Pages 98-109 Verification of the Completeness of Unification Algorithms � la Robinson....Pages 110-124 Mechanisation of PDA and Grammar Equivalence for Context-Free Languages....Pages 125-135 On the Role of the Complementation Rule for Data Dependencies over Incomplete Relations....Pages 136-147 Decidability and Undecidability Results on the Modal μ-Calculus with a Natural Number-Valued Semantics ....Pages 148-160 Solving the Implication Problem for XML Functional Dependencies with Properties....Pages 161-175 On Anaphora and the Binding Principles in Categorial Grammar....Pages 176-190 Feasible Functions over Co-inductive Data....Pages 191-203 Interval Valued Fuzzy Coimplication....Pages 204-217 Reduction of the Intruder Deduction Problem into Equational Elementary Deduction for Electronic Purse Protocols with Blind Signatures....Pages 218-231 Intersection Type Systems and Explicit Substitutions Calculi....Pages 232-246 Generalising Conservativity....Pages 247-258 Back Matter....Pages - This volume contains the papers presented at WoLLIC 2010: 17th Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation held during July 6–9, 2010, on the campus of Universidade de Bras ́?lia (UnB), Brazil. The Workshop on Logic, Language, Information and Computation (WoL- LIC) is an annual event, meeting every year since 1994, which aims at fostering interdisciplinary research in pure and applied logic. The idea is to have a forum which is large enough in the number of possible interactions between logic and the sciences related to information and computation, and yet is small enough to allow for concrete and useful interaction among participants. The present volume contains 13 contributed papers that were selected from among 32 submissions after a rigorous review by the Program Committee. Each submission was reviewed by at least two, and on average three, Program C- mittee members. This volume also containspapersor abstractsthat relateto the seven invited talks presented at the workshop. Between them, these papers give a snapshot of some fascinating work taking place at the frontiers between computation, logic, and linguistics. We are grateful to all the people who made this meeting possible and are responsible for its success: the members of the Program Committee and the external reviewers, the invited speakers, the contributors, and the people who were involved in organizing the workshop.
