Abstract:
This paper proposes a semiring formulation for reasoning about an
agent's changing beliefs: a
dynamic epistemic semiring
(DES). A DES is a modal semiring extended with a revision
operator. The revision operator is given a relational interpretation
and a basic calculus is developed -- based on the revision operator
a contraction operator is also defined. A DES only models actions
on an agent's beliefs, whereas the
real dynamic epistemic
semiringsalso introduced in this paper facilitate actions on the
world as well. To allow for iterated action both structures are
extended with the Kleene star.
