Verification and Synthesis in Description Logic Based Dynamic Systems (Abridged Version)

Proc. of the Workshop AI Meets Business Processes 2013 (AIBP). Volume 1101 of CEUR Workshop Proceedings. 2013.

In this paper, we devise a general framework for formalizing Description Logic Based Dynamic Systems that is parametric w.r.t. the description logic knowledge base and the progression mechanism of interest. Using this framework we study verification and adversarial synthesis for specifications expressed in a variant of first-order mu-calculus, with a controlled form of quantification across successive states. We provide key decidability results for both verification and synthesis, under a "bounded-state" assumption. We then study two instantiations of this general framework, where the description logic knowledge base is expressed in DL-Lite and ALCQI , respectively.
