Class TransitionSystem

  • public class TransitionSystem
extends java.lang.Object
    This class represents an action transition system for a fixed action signature with a set of states and a set of transitions between states. Transition systems are used to capture the meaning of action descriptions. For a collection of action languages defined in terms of transition systems, see: Gelfond, Michael and Lifschitz, Vladimir: Action Languages. ETAI: Electronic Transactions on AI, 1998.
