Logic-based Reasoning Support for SBVR
This work reports on the attempt to provide logical foundations for the Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules by the means of defining a specific first-order deontic-alethic logic (FODAL). The connections of FODAL with the modal logic QK and the description logic ALCQI have been investigated and, on top of the obtained theoretical results, a special tool providing automated support for consistency checks of a set of ALCQI-expressible deontic and alethic business rules has been implemented.

Logic-based reasoning for ORM2
The Object Role Modelling language (ORM2) is a conceptual modelling language similar to UML and ER, adopted by Visual Studio, the integrated development environment from Microsoft. ORM2 is at the core of the OGM standard SBVR language (Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules). The ORM Foundation is a major resource site for ORM as well as other fact-oriented modeling approaches.

In the context of the ONTORULE Project (ONTOlogies meet business RULEs, 7th Framework Programme under the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Call 3 (ICT-231875):

We also implemented a MS Visual Studio extension providing a NORMA backend for the automated support of consistency and entailment checks for ORM2 conceptual schemas. The tool is freely avalailable here.

Social and environmental transitions: Simulating the past to understand human behaviour is a five-year interdisciplinary research project started in January 2011 and funded by the Spanish Ministry for Science and Innovation.
The aim of the project is to develop an innovative and interdisciplinary methodological framework to model and simulate ancient societies and their relationship with environmental transformations.

«Je grimpe pour me sentir en harmonie avec moi-même,
parce que je vis dans l'instant, parce que c'est
une forme d'expression éthique et esthétique par laquelle je peux me
réaliser, parce que je recherche la liberté totale du corps et de l'esprit.
Et parce que ça me plaît.»
