Handbook of Defeasible Reasoning and Uncertainty Management Systems Agent-Based Defeasible Control in Dynamic Environments

This last volume of the Handbook of Defeasible Reasoning and Uncertainty Management Systems is - together with Volume 6 - devoted to the topics Reasoning and Dynamics, covering both the topics of "Dynamics of Reasoning", where reasoning is viewed as a process, and "Reasoning about Dynamics", which must be understood as pertaining to how both designers of, and agents within dynamic systems may reason about these systems. The present volume presents work done in this context and is more focused on "reasoning about dynamics", viz. how (human and artificial) agents reason about (systems in) dynamic environments in order to control them. In particular modelling frameworks and generic agent models for modelling these dynamic systems and formal approaches to these systems such as logics for agents and formal means to reason about agent-based and compositional systems, and action & change more in general are considered.Meyer, John-Jules C. is the author of 'Handbook of Defeasible Reasoning and Uncertainty Management Systems Agent-Based Defeasible Control in Dynamic Environments' with ISBN 9781402008344 and ISBN 1402008341.
