Situation Calculus: Fundamentals and Applications

What Is Situation Calculus

A logic formalism known as the situation calculus has been developed for the purpose of expressing and reasoning about dynamical domains. John McCarthy was the one who initially proposed it back in 1963. This article's primary presentation of the situational calculus is primarily based on a model that was initially presented by Ray Reiter in the year 1991. After that comes some information regarding McCarthy's revised version from 1986 as well as a logic programming approach.
