On the Range of Applicability of Baker's Approach to the Frame Problem
We investigate the range of applicability of Baker's approach to the frame problem using an action language. We show that for temporal projection and deterministic domains, B...

Change, Change, Change: Three Approaches
We consider the frame problem, that is, char­ acterizing the assumption that properties tend to persist over time. We show that there are at least three distinct assumptions that...
