General action languages, like e.g. the Situation Calculus, use full classical logic to represent knowledge of actions and their effects in dynamic domains. Description Logics, on...
This paper develops a mathematical characterisation of object-oriented concepts by defining an observation-oriented semantics for an object-oriented language (OOL) with a rich var...
Overcoming the disadvantages of equidistant discretization of continuous actions, we introduce an approach that separates time into slices of varying length bordered by certain ev...
