Summary on Grant Application Form
The relationship between probabilistic reasoning and the notion of proof in logic is multifarious yet only sketchily understood. In this research project we intend to investigate two aspects of this relationship: (i) using probability to assist the development of logical proofs, and (ii) using logical proofs tohelp help draw conclusions when reasoning with probabilities. We also intend to investigate applications of our work on these two problems. Work on the first problem may be applied to the verification of computer programs and to cryptographic protocols and computer security. Work on the second problem may be applied to the development of expert systems and decision support systems.
