Iterated Belief Change Due to Actions and Observations
In action domains where agents may have erroneous beliefs, reasoning about the effects of actions involves reasoning about belief change. In this paper, we use a transition system...

Probabilistic Arc Consistency: A Connection between Constraint Reasoning and Probabilistic Reasoning
We document a connection between constraint reasoning and probabilistic reasoning. We present an algorithm, called probabilistic arc consistency, which is both a generalization of...
