Bounded Situation Calculus Action Theories and Decidable Verification
نویسندگان
چکیده
We define a notion of bounded action theory in the situation calculus, where the theory entails that in all situations, the number of ground fluent atoms is bounded by a constant. Such theories can still have an infinite domain and an infinite set of states. We argue that such theories are fairly common in applications, either because facts do not persist indefinitely or because one eventually forgets some facts, as one learns new ones. We discuss various ways of obtaining bounded action theories. The main result of the paper is that verification of an expressive class of first-order μ-calculus temporal properties in such theories is in fact decidable.

Verifying ConGolog Programs on Bounded Situation Calculus Theories
We address verification of high-level programs over situation calculus action theories that have an infinite object domain, but bounded fluent extensions in each situation. We show that verification of μ-calculus temporal properties against ConGolog programs over such bounded theories is decidable in general. To do this, we reformulate the transition semantics of ConGolog to keep the bindings o...
متن کاملProgression and verification of situation calculus agents with bounded beliefs
In this paper we investigate agents that have incomplete information and make decisions based on their beliefs, expressed as situation calculus bounded action theories. Such theories have an infinite object domain, but the number of objects that belong to fluents at each time point is bounded by a given constant. Recently it has been shown that verifying temporal properties over such theories i...
متن کاملBounded Epistemic Situation Calculus Theories
We define the class of e-bounded theories in the epistemic situation calculus, where the number of fluent atoms that the agent thinks may be true is bounded by a constant. Such theories can still have an infinite domain and an infinite set of states. We show that for them verification of an expressive class of first-order μ-calculus temporal epistemic properties is decidable. We also show that ...
متن کاملBounded Situation Calculus Action Theories
In this paper, we investigate bounded action theories in the situation calculus. A bounded action theory is one which entails that, in every situation, the number of object tuples in the extension of fluents is bounded by a given constant, although such extensions are in general different across the infinitely many situations. We argue that such theories are common in applications, either becau...
متن کاملLTL Verification of Online Executions with Sensing in Bounded Situation Calculus
We look at agents reasoning about actions from a firstperson perspective. The agent has a representation of world as situation calculus action theory. It can perform sensing actions to acquire information. The agent acts “online”, i.e., it performs an action only if it is certain that the action can be executed, and collects sensing results from the actual world. When the agent reasons about it...
