Abstract

In the reasoning about actions community, one of the most basic reasoning problems is the projection problem: the question whether a certain assertion holds after executing a sequence of actions. While undecidable for general action theories based on the situation calculus, the projection problem was shown to be decidable in two different restrictions of the situation calculus to theories formulated using description logics. In this paper, we compare our implementations of projection procedures for these two approaches on random testing data for several realistic application domains. Important contributions of this work are not only the obtained experimental results, but also the approach for generating test cases. By using patterns extracted from the respective application domains, we ensure that the randomly generated input data make sense and are not inconsistent.
