Verification of Temporal Properties in Communicating Datalog ProgramsLogic-based languages, such as Datalog and Answer Set Programming, have been recently put forward as a data-centric model to effectively specify and implement network services and protocols, seeing them as dynamic systems of distributed computational nodes. In such systems, which we call Communicating Datalog Programs (CDPs), each node evolves an internal database, exchanges data with other nodes of the network via channels, and may incorporate fresh data from the external world. A rigorous, comprehensive characterization of the decidability and complexity of verification of temporal properties in CDPs is still missing. In this talk we analyze the different assumptions characterizing the problem space, and then discuss several different variants of the problem. In particular, for the significant case where the number of nodes in the network is fixed, we delineate the decidability frontier of verification and provide tight complexity bounds. |

Team-based logics and their applicationsTeam Semantics is the mathematical basis of modern logics for reasoning about dependence, independence, and imperfect information. During the past decade research on team semantics has flourished with interesting connections to fields such as database theory, statistics, formal linguistics, hyperproperties and causality, just to mention a few examples. I will give a short introduction to first-order team semantics and discuss recent generalizations and applications that might be relevant for the nonmonotonic reasoning community. |

Brushing-up description logics to cope with imperfect dataFor logic-based applications where data is not curated, but generated automatically, noisy or erroneous data can clearly be an obstacle for reasoning under classical First-order semantics. In recent years several approaches have been investigated for reasoning in Description Logics that deal with this problem -- often by changing the underlying semantics. In this talk I will discuss different reasoning problems using non-standard semantics, such as defeasible or approximative semantics, that can preserve useful logical reasoning even in the presence of imperfect data. |
