Nondeterministic Action and Dominance: Foundations for Planning and Qualitative Decision
نویسندگان
چکیده
A common sense dominance argument (1) divides possible outcomes into two or more exhaustive, exclusive cases, (2) points out that in each of these alternatives it is bet ter to perform some action than not to perform it, and (3) concludes that this action is best unconditionally. Al though such arguments are often used, and are convincing when they are used, they are invalid. A classic i l lustration of the invalidity is the argument for cold-war d isarmament . 1

متن کاملFormulation of tradeoffs in planning under uncertainty
The tradeoffformulation task is to identify the central issues in a decision problem by recognizing strategies that are inadmissible on qualitative grounds. SUDO-PLANNER formulates tradeoffs for an example medical decision problem by proving decisiontheoretically that certain plan classes are dominated based on a knowledge base of qualitative relations in the domain. The classical planning repr...

متن کاملQualitative and probabilistic uncertainty in reasoning about actions with sensing
We present the description logic PN-ALCK NF for reasoning about actions with sensing under qualitative and probabilistic uncertainty, which is an extension of the description logic ALCK NF by actions with nondeterministic and probabilistic effects. We define a formal semantics of PN-ALCK NF in terms of deterministic, nondeterministic, and probabilistic transitions between epistemic states, whic...
