We present a logic for representing and reasoning with qualitative statements of preference and normality and describe how these may interact in decision making under uncertainty....
In a seminal paper, Lin and Reiter introduced a modeltheoretic definition for the progression of the initial knowledge base of a basic action theory. This definition comes with a ...
We consider the frame problem, that is, char acterizing the assumption that properties tend to persist over time. We show that there are at least three distinct assumptions that...
In this paper we study the ramification problem in the setting of temporal databases. Standard solutions from the literature on reasoning about action are inadequate because they ...
In Artificial Intelligence, a crucial requirement is the ability to reason about actions and their effects on the environment. Traditional approaches which rely on classical logic...
