Summary on Grant Application Form
From a formal perspective, the proposal system will have the following components.1. Data are labelled and structured, including procedures as data, forming databases; 2. A goal directed proof mechanism is available for proving formulae with lables: 3. A notion of acceptability abd inconsistency of data; 4. An abduction mechanism; 5. A notion of action along preconditions and postconditiond which can be taken to check/refute an abducted theory ; 6. A controlled revision process is needed to identify and take out refuted formulae in case of inconsistency; 7. A proof theory component in the goal-directed system that takes account or actions; 8. Provision for refutation of abductive hypothesis by action; 9. Another logic for choosing between abductive alternatives.Our aim is to develop in detail all aspects of the above model and publish a research monograph in the area.
