Abstract: The Event Calculus of Kowalski and Sergot only deals with discrete
change. This paper introduces a simplified version of the Event Calculus and
extends it to deal with continuous change, as in the height of a falling object or
the level of liquid in a filling vessel. The idea of autotermination is introduced. A
period of continuous change autoterminates if it brings about the event which
terminates it. For example, when the increasing level of water in a sink reaches
the overflow, it ceases to... (Update)

...two simple applications involving real number entities are given. The rst example uses Shanahan s extension of EC for continuous change [49]. The example was presented in [3] and is a variant of one in [49] There is a barrel b and two water pipes p 1 ; p 2 , two taps tap 1 ;...
...in the environment. This technique has been integrated, for example, into situation calculus [Reiter, 1996] event calculus [Shanahan, 1990] , or fluent calculus [Thielscher, 2001a] Implementing these approaches, the agent programming and planning languages ConGolog...
