Texas Action Group
Webpage: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/tag
Director: Vladimir Lifschitz
Texas Action Group at Austin is a research group within the Department of Computer Science of the University of Texas at Austin. The group is led by Vladimir Lifschitz. It is part of a larger community, Texas Action Group. We work in the area of logic-based Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, we are interested in action description languages, in automated reasoning about the effects of actions, in the theory of stable models, and in answer set programming.
