Abstract: This article presents the event calculus, a logic-based formalism for representing actions and their effects. 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.

.... adaptation policies of each host are handled by an adaptation control module based on a policy language derived from the Event Calculus [20]. Our approach allows sharing of application status information among all applications running on the system. The introduction of a...

...in section 4. 4 we have chosen to use an event driven policy language derived from the event calculus logic programming formalism [15, 24]. The event calculus provides a framework in which it is possible to reason about the effects of events in an eventbased system. More...
