Abstract

In this paper we propose a practical extension to some recent work on the progression of action theories in the situation calculus. Based on the notion of safe-range queries from database theory and just-in-time action histories, we present a new type of action theory, called range-restricted, that allows actions to have non-local e?ects with a restricted range. These theories can represent incomplete information in terms of possible closures for fluents and can be progressed by directly updating the database in an algorithmic manner.
