Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
From a formal perspective, the proposed systme will have the following components. 1. Data are labelled and structured, including procedures as data, forming databases; 2. A goal directed proof mechanism is available for proving formulae with labels; 3. A notion of acceptabiity and inconsistency of data; 4. An abduction mechanim; 5. A notion of action along preconditions and postconditions which can be taken to check/refute an abduced theory; 6. A controlled revision process is needed to identify and take out refuted formulae in case of inconsistency; 7. A proof theory component in goal-directed system that takes accout of actions; 8. Provision for refutation of abductive hypotheses by action; 9. Another logic for choosing between abductive alternatives. 0ur aim is to develop in detail all aspects of the above model and publish a research monograph in the area.
