A Logical Framework for the Representation and Verification of Context-aware Agents

We propose a logical framework for modelling and verifying context-aware multi-agent systems. We extend C T L (au) with belief and communication modalities, and the resulting logic oe"> (OCRS) allows us to describe a set of rule-based reasoning agents with bound on time, memory and communication. The set of rules which are used to model a desired systems is derived from OWL 2 RL ontologies. We provide an axiomatization of the logic and prove it is sound and complete. We show how Maude rewriting system can be used to encode and verify interesting properties of oe"> (OCRS) models using existing model checking techniques.
