A circumscriptive solution to the frame problem is deployed which reduces to monotonic predicate completion. Using a number of benchmark examples from the literature, the formalism is shown to apply to a variety of domains, including those featuring actions with indirect effects, actions with non-deterministic effects, concurrent actions, and continuous change.}, date-modified = {2005-11-05 12:28:14 +0000}, date-added = {2004-11-14 22:55:36 +0000}, keywords = {action logic, planning temporal } }
