Researchers have extended the situation calculus to handle knowledge and sensing actions. Other researchers have addressed the issue of adding time and concurrent actions. Here both of these features are combined into a uni£ed logical theory of knowledge, sensing, time, and concurrency. Theresult preserves the solution to the frame problem of previous work, maintains the distinction between indexical and objective knowledge of time, and is capable of representing the various ways in which concurrency interacts with time and knowledge. Furthermore, a method based on regression is developed for solving the projection problem for theories speci£ed in this version of the situation calculus.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/156","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0156.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/156.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/156","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":156,"pages":{"first":1091,"last":1097},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
