Description:
|
The developed work consist of two phases:
- A PVS specification of a prover for the ALC description logic, as well as the proofs of its termination, soundness and completeness. We use the previous formalization of the well--foundedness of the multiset relation induced by a well-founded relation to prove the termination and the completeness of the ALC prover.
- The construction of a formally verified generic tableau-based algorithm for checking satisfiability of ALC-concepts, from the previous generic framework. We do it using a methodology of refinements to transfer the properties from the framework to the algorithm. We also obtain some verified reasoners from the algorithm by a process of instantiation.
