Commonsense Spatial Reasoning (CSR) - SS 2012

About the Course.

This course will introduce students with formal logic-based methods for integrated representation and reasoning about space, actions, and change. It will prepare the students to apply these methods for solving spatio-temporal reasoning tasks for systems such as cognitive robotics, GIS, spatial puzzles, games, smart environments. Topics that will be convered include:

  1. Commonsense reasoning
  2. Non-Monotonic Reasoning
  3. Reasoning about Actions and Change
  4. Spatial Representation and Reasoning, Spatial Logics
  5. Qualitative Spatial Calculi
  6. Reasoning about Space, Actions, and Change
  7. Collaborative Spatial Reasoning
  8. Applications and Future Perspective for Research, Projects
