Package:
areas/reasonng/defeasbl/belief/
Name:
BELIEF
Summary:
Implementation of Paris and Vencovska's model of belief
Version:
18-MAR-94
Description:
Paris and Vencovska's paper provides a mathematical model of an
agent's belief in an event by identifying it with his ability to
imagine the event within the context of his previous experience.
This approach leads to beliefs having properties different from
those normally ascribed to it [1].
The package includes a brief introduction, an implementation of
Paris and Vencovska's model of belief and a description of the
implementation.
