. In earlier work, we have shown that the formalism of abductivelogic programs with FOL integrity constraints provides, under acompletion semantics, the same declarative expressivity for representingincomplete information as full first order logic. We have shown how thecombination of this formalism with a variant of the Event Calculus ofKowalski and Sergot results in a correct and very expressive frameworkfor temporal reasoning and representation. In this paper we demonstratehow this...
