Action Language

What is an action language?

An action language is a kind of computer programming language that is designed to describe actions and events. It is closely related to artificial intelligence and is often used in intelligent agents, robotic systems, and other kinds of software. Action languages are also sometimes used in cognitive science and philosophy, as they can help to formalize common sense reasoning. There are many different action languages, but they all share some common features. For example, most action languages include operators for specifying when an action should happen, what conditions must be met for an action to occur, and what the results of an action should be. In addition, action languages often include facilities for representing knowledge about the world and reasoning about possible actions and events.
