# Representing Concurrent Actions in Extended Logic Programming

Chitta Baral, Michael Gelfond

*Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 866-872.

## Abstract

Gelfond and Lifschitz introduce a declarative language A for describing effects of actions and define a translation of theories in this language into extended logic programs(ELP's) . The purpose of this paper is to extend the language and the translation to allow reasoning about the effects of concurrent actions. Logic programming formalization of situation calculus with concurrent actions presented in the paper can be of independent interest and may serve as a test bed for the investigation of various transformations and logic programming inference mechanisms.
