The aims of the project are to develop theoretical foundations that will enable to apply reactive synthesis from temporal specifications to work for multiple agents. This includes studying two-player games and their solutions, modelling solutions for interacting agents, and studies of temporal and modal logic.</p><p style="color:rgb(72,72,72);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;margin:0px 0px 15px;padding:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial">Specifically, research will focus on the following objectives:</p><ol style="color:rgb(72,72,72);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial"><li style="list-style-position:outside;color:rgb(72,72,72);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">Consider modelling frameworks that combine message passing and variable sharing allowing for synchronization as well as passage of information.</li><li style="list-style-position:outside;color:rgb(72,72,72);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:normal">Work on algorithmic analysis of games that arise from combinations of multiple agents supporting rich modelling features.
