Modeling simultaneous actions and continuous processes

摘要

A new methodology for the construction of world models is presented. The central feature of this methodology is a mechanism which makes possible the modeling of (1) simultaneous, interactive processes, (2) processes characterized by a continuum of gradual change, (3) involuntarily activated processes (such as the growing of grass) and (4) time as a continuous phenomenon. Considerable attention is given to the application of this methodology in robotics.
