Abstract

Reo is a coordination-based language with the proposal of connecting different systems and interfaces. It aims to develop communication between different systems with a high level of abstraction and without many restrictions. PDL is a multimodal logic tailored to reason about programs. It is proved to be sound, complete, decidable and has a simple Kripke semantics. This work intends to provide an interpretation of Reo circuits as PDL models. These are the first steps towards providing a dynamic logic tailored to reason directly about Reo circuits.

Bruno Lopes, Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)

Professor na Universidade Federal Fluminense (IC/UFF) e pesquisador no FR∀M∃ Lab. Já fui pesquisador visitante no Deduc˫eam/INRIA, com o qual desenvolvo parceria em conjunto com a Université Lyon 3 e com o TecMF/PUC-Rio. Minha principal linha de trabalho é na área de lógica para sistemas concorrentes mas também tenho trabalhado no desenvolvimento de provadores de teoremas extensíveis, normalização para sistemas de dedução natural, ontologias, formalização de sistemas multi-agentes e teoria da prova para lógicas.
