Package net.sf.tweety.logics.ml.reasoner

Class SPASSMlReasoner

java.lang.Object

net.sf.tweety.logics.ml.reasoner.AbstractMlReasoner

net.sf.tweety.logics.ml.reasoner.SPASSMlReasoner

All Implemented Interfaces:

net.sf.tweety.commons.QualitativeReasoner<MlBeliefSet,net.sf.tweety.logics.fol.syntax.FolFormula>, net.sf.tweety.commons.Reasoner<Boolean,MlBeliefSet,net.sf.tweety.logics.fol.syntax.FolFormula>

public class SPASSMlReasoner
extends AbstractMlReasoner

Invokes SPASS (http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/departments/automation-of-logic/software/spass-workbench/), an automated theorem prover for first-order logic, modal logic and description logics.
Note: There are unresolved errors for some cases, see net.sf.tweety.logics.ml.SPASSTest#ComplexQueryTest() for examples.

Constructor Detail

SPASSMlReasoner

public SPASSMlReasoner(String binaryLocation,
                       net.sf.tweety.commons.util.Shell bash)

Constructs a new instance pointing to a specific SPASS Prover.

Parameters:

binaryLocation - of the SPASS executable on the hard drive

bash - shell to run commands

SPASSMlReasoner

public SPASSMlReasoner(String binaryLocation)

Constructs a new instance pointing to a specific SPASS

Parameters:

binaryLocation - of the SPASS executable on the hard drive

Method Detail

setCmdOptions

public void setCmdOptions(String s)

Sets the command line options that will be used by SPASS when executing the query.

Parameters:

s - a string containing the command line arguments

query

public Boolean query(MlBeliefSet kb,
                     net.sf.tweety.logics.fol.syntax.FolFormula query)

Specified by:

query in interface net.sf.tweety.commons.QualitativeReasoner<MlBeliefSet,net.sf.tweety.logics.fol.syntax.FolFormula>

Specified by:

query in interface net.sf.tweety.commons.Reasoner<Boolean,MlBeliefSet,net.sf.tweety.logics.fol.syntax.FolFormula>

Specified by:

query in class AbstractMlReasoner

queryProof

public String queryProof(MlBeliefSet kb,
                         net.sf.tweety.commons.Formula query)

Determines the answer wrt. to the given query and returns the proof (if applicable). May decrease SPASS's performance, use query(MlBeliefSet,FolFormula) if only a yes/no result is needed.

Parameters:

kb - a modal belief set

query - a formula

Returns:

a string containing proof documentation
