Areas of expertise & research interests
Generally, I research into natural and formal languages.
This entails a broad-scope expertise, from math to philosophy, with (theoretical)
computer science being a core component. I am particularly interested in
(formal) languages for knowledge and agency, but also approach the subject from
a purely computational perspective (e.g., compilation).

Ongoing stuff
·
I am completing a project of the Journal of Knowledge Structures &
Systems (JKSS) on bridging philosophical
ontology and formal ontology via the work of the late medieval philosopher
Dietrich of Freiberg. More specifically, this project bridges the gulf between information-based ontology (my own
coinage) and ontology-based information;
thus, it bridges the philosophical and formal approaches to information in ontology. Papers in the
project are available (open access) in JKSS 2(2), JKSS 3(1), JKSS 3(2), JKSS
3(3). Check also the commentaries on these articles
published in the indicated issues.
·
In the quest for decidability, I am going deep into
automata and infinite games, namely in association with monadic second-order
logic, temporal logics, many-valued logics, etc.
·
In (slow) progress, and related to the above
projects: Logic in knowledge
representation and reasoning: Central
topics via readings and Knowledge
& Logic.
·
A two-volume work on computational logic is
underway. Volume 1 is already published (in College
Publications, London). The second volume is planned
to be on logics with game semantics.
·
I am working together with Farshad Badie (Research Group
Natural and Formal Languages, Aalborg University) on symbolic AI based on
shared conceptualization. Published papers: Augusto & Badie (2022), Badie
& Augusto (2022)
Conferences, talks, etc.
