Dov M. Gabbay (, ; born October 26, 1945) is an Israeli logician. He is Augustus De Morgan Professor Emeritus of Logic at the Group of Logic, Language and Computation, Department of Computer Science, King's College London.
Work
Gabbay has authored over four hundred and fifty research papers and over thirty research monographs. He is editor of several international journals, and of many reference works and handbooks of logic, including the
Handbook of Philosophical Logic (with
Franz Guenthner), the
Handbook of Logic in Computer Science (with
Samson Abramsky and
Tom Maibaum), the
Handbook of the History of Logic (with John Woods), the
Handbook of Deontic Logic and Normative Systems (with John Horty, Xavier Parent, Ron van der Meyden and Leendert van der Torre), and the
Handbook of Logic in Artificial Intelligence and Logic Programming (with C.J. Hogger and J.A. Robinson).
He is well-known for pioneering work on logic in computer science and artificial intelligence, especially the application of (executable) in computer science, in particular formal verification, the logical foundations of non-monotonic reasoning and artificial intelligence, the introduction of fibring logics and the theory of labelled deductive systems.
He is Chairman and founder of several international conferences, executive of the European Foundation of Logic, Language and Information and President of the International IGPL Logic Group. He is founder, and joint President of the International Federation of Computational Logic.
He is co-founder with Jane Spurr of College Publications, a not-for-profit, start-up academic publisher, intended to compete with major expensive publishers at affordable prices, and not requiring copyright assignment from authors.
