In this era of heterogeneous and distributed data sources, ranging from semistructured documents to knowledge about coordination processes or workflows, logic provides a rich set of tools and techniques with which to address the questions of how to represent, query and reason about complex data.This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of research on the application of logic-based methods to information systems, covering highly topical and emerging fields: XML programming and querying, intelligent agents, workflow modeling and verification, data integration, temporal and dynamic information, data mining, authorization, and security. It provides both scientists and graduate students with a wealth of material and references for their own research and education.

This book presents revised versions of selected papers from the 6th Workshop on Model Checking and Artificial Intelligence, MoChArt 2010, held in Atlanta, GA, USA in July 2010, as well as papers contributed subsequent to the workshop. The 7 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book. In addition, the book also contains an extended abstract of the invited talk held at the workshop. The topics covered by these papers are general search algorithms, application of AI techniques to automated program verification, multiagent systems and epistemic logic, abstraction, epistemic model checking, and theory of model checking.
