An abductive event calculus planner
In 1969 Cordell Green presented his seminal description of planning as theorem proving with the situation calculus. The most pleasing feature of Green's account was the negli...

A Causal Theory of Abduction
The paper provides a uniform representation of abductive reasoning in the logical framework of causal inference relations. The representation covers in a single framework not only...

An Agent Language with Destructive Assignment and Model-Theoretic Semantics
In this paper we present an agent language that combines agent functionality with an action theory and model-theoretic semantics. The language is based on abductive logic programmi...

Computational Logic in an Object-Oriented World
Logic and object-orientation (OO) are competing ways of looking at the world. Both view the world in terms of individuals. But logic focuses on the relationships between individual...

Integrating Logic Programming and Production Systems in Abductive Logic Programming Agents
In this paper we argue the case for integrating the distinctive functionalities of logic programs and production systems within an abductive logic programming agent framework. In t...

The CIFF Proof Procedure for Abductive Logic Programming with Constraints
Abstract. We introduce a new proof procedure for abductive logic programming and present two soundness results. Our procedure extends that of Fung and Kowalski by integrating abduc...

Modelling Inhibition in Metabolic Pathways Through Abduction and Induction
Abstract. In this paper, we study how a logical form of scientific modelling that integrates together abduction and induction can be used to understand the functional class of unk...

Inference of Gene Relations from Microarray Data by Abduction
We describe an application of Abductive Logic Programming (ALP) to the analysis of an important class of DNA microarray experiments. We develop an ALP theory that provides a simple...
