....of domain concept. The goal of a very rich environment for the representation of domain requirements does not support a disciplined engineering approach. Moreover, in our opinion the escape towards logic programming gives users a dangerous degree of freedom. The system proposed by Di Eugenio [20] for recognizing plans speci ed in terms of natural language instructions is more similar to our proposal. Domain concepts and reasoning services e.g. matching an action speci ed in a given clause with one in a known method are formalized at a domain dependent level. This is linked to the ....

....or deny. There is one more point I want to make about how an agent derives the action she is meant to carry out: being told what condition to check can also convey information as to how she must act in order to check it. As such, perceptual conditions can function just like purpose clauses [4, 5, 6, 7] in guiding an agent to the more specific action she is intended to carry out as well as conveying what perceivable condition should lead her to stop it. Consider, for example: 34) Have your helper move the tape side ways until the 4 foot mark on the tape coincides with the 5 foot mark on the ....

....delle DL. Le logiche descrittive fanno uso della nozione di concetto, che rappresenta una classe di oggetti che hanno certe propriet a, e di ruolo, che descrive relazioni tra oggetti. L approccio qui presentato differisce dalle altre proposte riguardanti l utilizzo delle DL per la pianificazione [15, 2, 1, 6, 8], in cui il linguaggio delle DL viene esteso con appositi costrutti che permettono di rappresentare le azioni mediante concetti e di usare il meccanismo della sussunzione per ragionare sui piani. Seguendo la corrispondenza tra PDL e DL si ottiene invece una descrizione degli stati in termini di ....

....action taxonomy: more specifically, the header and fl are subconcepts belonging to the act type subhierarchy. Fig. 2 is represented in tabular rather than in network form just for readability. Further details on the action representation formalism can be found in [ Di Eugenio, 1993, Ch. 6 ] Di Eugenio, 1994 ] I adopted CLASSIC as the underlying backbone of the whole system because I found the classification and realization inferences that DLBS s provide both powerful enough and restricted enough to compute the relation between the action described in the input and the stored ones. The inference ....
