abstract = {SCIFF is a framework thought to specify and verify interaction in
open agent societies. The SCIFF language is equipped with a
semantics based on abductive logic programming; SCIFF's operational
component is a new abductive logic programming proof-procedure, also
named SCIFF, for reasoning with expectations in dynamic
environments. In this paper we present the declarative and
operational semantics of the SCIFF language, the termination,
soundness and completeness results of the SCIFF proof procedure,
and we demonstrate SCIFF's possible application in the multi-agent
domain.},

journal = {International Journal of Electronic Commerce},
abstract = {In this article, we propose to adopt the SCIFF abductive logic language to specify business contracts, and show how its proof procedures are useful to verify contract execution and fulfilment. SCIFF is a declarative language based on abductive logic programming, which accommodates forward rules, predicate definitions, and constraints over finite domain variables. Its declarative semantics is abductive, and can be related to that of deontic operators; its operational specification is the sound and complete SCIFF proof procedure, defined as a set of transition rules, which has been implemented and integrated into a reasoning and verification tool. A variation of the SCIFF proof-procedure (g-SCIFF) can be used for static verification of contract properties.
We demonstrate the use of the SCIFF language for business contract specification and verification, in a concrete scenario. In order to accommodate integration of SCIFF with architectures for business contract, we also propose an encoding of SCIFF contract rules in RuleML.

abstract = {In recent years, the declarative programming philosophy has had a visible impact on new emerging disciplines, such as heterogeneous multi-agent systems and flexible business processes. We address the problem of formal verification for systems specified using declarative languages, focusing in particular on the Business Process Management field. We propose a verification method based on the g-SCIFF abductive logic programming proof procedure and evaluate our method empirically, by comparing its performance with that of other verification frameworks.},

abstract = {Dynamic composition of web services requires an automated step of
contracting, i.e., the computation of a possibly fruitful
interaction between two (or more) services, based on their policies
and goals. In previous work, the SCIFF abductive logic language
was used to represent the services' policies, and the associated
proof procedure to perform the contracting.
In this paper, we build on that work in order to exploit the results
of the Description Logics research area to represent domain specific
knowledge, either by importing the knowledge encoded in an ontology
into a SCIFF knowledge base, or by interfacing the SCIFF proof
procedure to an existing ontological reasoner.},
