Abstract
After a review of situation theory and previous attempts at ‘computational’ situation theory, we present a new programming environment, BABY‐SIT, which is based on situation theory. We then demonstrate how problems requiring formal temporal reasoning can be solved in this framework. Specifically, the Yale Shooting Problem, which is commonly regarded as a canonical problem for nonmonotonic temporal reasoning, is implemented in BABY‐SIT using Yoav Shoham’s causal theories.
