Fuzzy Logic Based Objective Function Construction for Evolutionary Test Generation

Authors: Andrea G. B. Tettamanzi

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 8351, Evolutionary Test Generation (2009)

Abstract
The test case generation problem can be stated as an optimization problem whereby the closeness of test cases to violating the postcondition of a formal specification is maximized, subject to satisfying its precondition. This is usually implemented by constructing an objective function which provides a real-valued estimate of how distant all of the constraints are from being violated, and then trying to minimize it. A problem with this approach is that such objective functions may contain plateaux, which make their minimization hard. We propose a similar approach, grounded on fuzzy logic, which uses, instead of a "distance from violation" objective function, a fuzzy degree of proximity to postcondition violation and produces plateaux-free objective functions by construction. The approach is illustrated with the help of a case study on the functional (black-box) testing of computer programs.

Choosing Your Beliefs

Authors: Guido Boella, Célia da Costa Pereira, Gabriella Pigozzi, Andrea Tettamanzi, and Leendert van der Torre

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 7122, Normative Multi-agent Systems (2007)

Abstract
This paper presents and discusses a novel approach to indeterministic belief revision. An indeterministic belief revision operator assumes that, when an agent is confronted with a new piece of information, it can revise its belief sets in more than one way. We define a rational agent not only in terms of what it believes but also of what it desires and wants to achieve. Hence, we propose that the agent's goals play a role in the choice of (possibly) one of the several available revision options. Properties of the new belief revision mechanism are also investigated.
