A planning problem is time-dependent, if the time spent planning affects the utility of the system's performance. In [Dean and Boddy, 1988], we define a framework for constru...
Intelligent reasoners sometimes draw conclusions that lack new or relevant information. Similarly, automated reasoning systems can produce formulas that are not necessary for the ...
We consider a representation for temporal relations between intervals introduced by James Allen, and its associated computational or reasoning problem: given possibly indefinite ...
We Imbed Into a first order logic a representation language that combines atemporal knowledge with time stamps in a hierarchical fashion. Each time structure contains its own chro...
In many applications in mobile robotics, it is important for a robot to explore its environment in order to construct a representation of space useful for guiding movement. We refe...
In a recent paper, Ginsberg shows how a backward-chaining ATMS can be used to construct a theorem prover for circumscription. Here, this work is extended to handle prioritized cir...
A modest exception allowing inheritance reasoner is presented. The reasoner allows restricted, but semantically well founded, defeasible property inheritance. Furthermore, it give...
