Texas Action Group at Austin

We are a research group led by Vladimir Lifschitz, and part of a larger community -- Texas Action Group.

We work in the area of logic-based Artificial Intelligence. Specifically, we are interested in the study of formal and automated reasoning about the effects of actions and in answer set programming.
