The Persistence of Derived Information
In this paper, we illustrate how such inferences add a new dimension of complexity to reasoning about change and show that failure to allow for such inferences can result in…

On McDermott’s First Critique
The first question to be answered is, What is logicism?’ McDermott outlines the logicist position as follows...

Automating Argument Construction for Intelligence Analysis
We have developed both a formal basis and a framework for implementating automated reasoning systems

Many Agents Are Better Than One
This paper aims to show how much of the frame problem can be alleviated by using domain models that allow for the simultaneous occurrence of actions and events. First, a…

Implicature and Definite Reference
An account is given of the appropriateness conditions for definite reference, in terms of the operations of inference and implicature. It is shown how a number of problematic cases noticed…

Actions, Processes, and Causality
The purpose of this paper is to construct a model of actions and events that facilitates reasoning about dynamic domains involving multiple agents. Unlike traditional approaches, the proposed model allows…

How To Clear A Block: A Theory Of Plans
Problems in commonsense and robot planning are approached by methods adapted from program synthesis research; planning is regarded as an application of automated deduction. To support this approach, we introduce…

A Knowledge-Based Architecture For Organizing Sensory Data
This paper describes an architecture for an information manager that is at the core of a sensor-based autonomous system. The architecture provides the means by which sensor-based data can be…
