Formalizing the Dynamics of Informationedited by Martina Faller, Stefan Kaufmann, and Marc Pauly
The papers collected in this volume exemplify some of the trends in current approaches to logic, language and computation. Written by authors with varied academic backgrounds, the contributions are intended for an interdisciplinary audience. The first part of this volume addresses issues relevant for multi-agent systems: reasoning with incomplete information, reasoning about knowledge and beliefs, and reasoning about games. Proofs as formal objects form the subject of Part II. Topics covered include: contributions on logical frameworks, linear logic, and different approaches to formalized reasoning. Part III focuses on representations and formal methods in linguistic theory, addressing the areas of comparative and temporal expressions, modal subordination, and compositionality.
Martina Faller and Stefan Kaufmann are Ph.D. students in the Linguistics Department at Stanford University and Marc Pauly is at the Center for Mathematics and Computer Science(CWI) in Amsterdam.
