Solved?

We need to mention that the technical problem is regarded as solved.---- Charles Stewart 10:43, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

In what sense do you mean it's solved? Are you refering to the use of default logics and so on? I wouldnt say that the frame problem is 'solved' per se, but there have been some good stabs at it. It's really a representational issue more than a problem. Deepak 13:39, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The problem arose as a formalism for AI agents in the situation calculus. Over the last 10 years several formalisms were proposed that handled the frame problems in ways that most AI researchers regard as adequate (I know the fluent calculus, but there are several such problems). It's still an active source of research papers, but the emphasis is on what is the best way to model default reasoning, not whether it can be done. There's a brief duscission in the Stanford Encyc. article, I will see if I can track down a better reference. ---- Charles Stewart 07:43, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
There's Reiter's Solving the Frame Problem as well. My point is, as such, it is better not to talk about the Frame Problem as being solved or unsolved, but as an issue to be dealt with. Non-monotic/Default logics and the fluent calculus are designed partly so that the frame problem becomes manageable. That doesnt make it 'solved' in a general sense. Deepak 13:17, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
