Abstract
Populational Announcement Logic (PPAL), is a variant of the standard Public Announcement Logic (PAL) with a fuzzy-inspired semantics, where instead of specific agents we have populations and groups. The semantics and the announcement logic are defined, and an example is provided. We show validities analogous to PAL axioms and their proofs, and also provide a proof of decidability. We briefly talk about model checking and compare the framework against probabilistic logic. We conclude that the main advantage of PPAL over PAL is the flexibility to work with previously defined agents.
期刊介绍:
ENTCS is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication and the availability on the electronic media is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in ENTCS, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
