Logical Aspects of Multi-agent Systems |
| Leerdoelen |
At the end of the course, the student is able to apply epistemic logic tools to distributed systems and multi-agent systems. |
| Omschrijving |
Epistemic logic is the logic of knowledge: how do you reason about what you know and what others know? This logic seems to be crucial in describing negotiations in economics, parallel processors in computer science and multiagent systems in artificial intelligence. Epistemic logic is also technically interesting: it has beautiful semantics. The lectures will deal with the following subjects: axiomatic systems and Kripke semantics for knowledge of multiple actors (agents); application to distributed systems; general knowledge, common knowledge and distributed knowledge; extension of epistemic logic with modal operators for beliefs, desires and intentions. |
