abstract

The last years have seen a renewed interest in modal and description logics (MDLs). Better algorithms, coding, and technology have led to effective systems based on tableau and constraint systems [6 7] to DPLL-based implementations

Behind Lotrec is the work on modal tableaux with back/forth rules [9], graphs [1,2], and its DL counterpart in [7]. Lotrec has been implemented by D. Fauthoux [4]

Acknowledgements

Thanks to the LILaC members who tested Lotrec and helped to improve it by their comments, in particular L. Aszalos, J.-F. Condottta, Th. Polacsek, and S. Suwanmanee. F. Massacci acknowledges the CNR Fellowship CNR-203-07-27.
