Abstract. Design tasks typically deal with incomplete information and involve flexible reasoning patterns for which sophisticated control strategies are needed. As a result, the reasoning patterns are highly dynamic and non-monotonic. The logical framework introduced provides formal semantics of state descriptions of design processes based on (compositional) partial models and formal semantics of the reasoning behaviour based on (compositional) partial temporal models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
