Abstract:

In this paper, a new higher-level action language called H Simple (R) is introduced. Language H Simple (R) is based on (locally) stratified logic program [Apt et al., 1988] and can treat concurrent actions and continuous changes. Also, it can handle implication rules (ramification) under the implication restriction. This work is the extension of Language H [Hayashi, 1996] which can handle only a discrete time line. At the end, it is shown that any action can be expressed as a fluent by comparing them in the logic program level.
