On Acting Together
We present a formal definition of what it could mean for a group to jointly commit to a common goal, and explore how these joint commitments relate to the individual…

Introducing The Tileworld: Experimentally Evaluating Agent Architectures
We describe a system called Tileworld, which consists of a simulated robot agent and a simulated environment which is both dynamic and unpredictable. We describe our initial experiments using Tileworld,…

A Survey Of AI Approaches To The Integration Of Information
In this paper, we first review briefly a variety of AI inference techniques, focusing primarily on logical inference and uncertain reasoning methods. We conclude with a survey of approaches used…

Decision-Making In An Embedded Reasoning System
This paper describes some of the features of a Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) that enables it to operate effectively in such environments.

On Formal versus Commonsense Semantics
Pure mathematical semantics is either a part of or an application of mathematical logic. Real semantics, even though an application of mathematical logic, is a part of the theory of meaning or content.

Automatically Generating Universal Attachments Through Compilation
In this paper, we describe a compilation-based method for automatically generating new programs and new universal attachments to those programs given a base set of existing programs and universal attachments.

A Centralized Approach for Representing and Resolving Interactions Among Multi-agent Tasks while Planning Hierarchically
The advantages of hierarchical planning for construction projects and the difficulties associated with implementing hierarchical planning systems using artificial intelligence techniques are described.

Weighted Abduction For Plan Ascription
We describe an approach to abductive reasoning called weighted abduction, which uses inference weights to compare competing explanations for observed behavior. We present an algorithm for computing a weighted-abductive explanation,…

A Framework for Evidential-Reasoning Systems
Evidential reasoning is a body of techniques that supports automated reasoning from evidence. It is based upon the Dempster-Shafer theory of belief functions. Both the formal basis and a framework…

Can AI Planners Solve Practical Problems?
This paper describes this new extension and the new applications of the planner. One of these applications is the problem of producing products from raw materials on process lines under…
