Most existing temporal logics are monotonic. However, in representing goals of agents, we often require that goals be changed non-monotonically. For example, the initial goal of the agent may be to be always in states where p is true. The agent may later realize that under certain conditions (exceptions) it is ok to be in states where p is not true. In this paper, we propose a simple extension of LTL, which we call N-LTL, that allows non-monotonic specification of goals. We study properties of N-LTL. We also consider a translation from N-LTL to logic programs and study the relationship between N-LTL and logic programs.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/36","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/0036.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/36.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/bibtex/36","volume":{"slug":"2007","title":"Proceedings of the Twentieth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2007","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2007/","year":2007,"location":"Hyderabad, India","dates":"","editors":"Ramon López de Mántaras","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":36,"pages":{"first":236,"last":241},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
