The LAC Hyperguide, working version

Edited by Erik Sandewall, Department of Computer and Information Science, Linköping, Sweden.


This is the development version. As substructures become definite they shall be moved over to the public version of the Hyperguide.

The Hyperguide for Logics of Actions and Change (hg-lac) is a WWW-based structure containing survey and tutorial information about this topic of A.I. research, as well as direct links to key publications in the field. Thus it attempts to combine the functionalities of a traditional "Handbook" in the scientific sense and those of a "Selected papers in ..." volume. The Hyperguide is a joint project by the Esprit working group Logic and Change (LAC), which is directed by Prof. Antonio Porto, Lisbon, Portugal. The work on the Hyperguide is directed by Prof. Erik Sandewall, Linköping, Sweden.
