Description:
Information manipulation is the creation of new information based on existing information sources. This paper discusses problems that arise when planning for information manipulation, and proposes a novel action representation, called ADLIM, that addresses these problems, including: How to represent information in a way sufficient to express the effects of actions that modify the information. I present a simple, yet expressive, representation of information goals and effects that generalizes earlier work on representing sensing actions; How to concisely represent actions that copy information, or produce new information that is based on existing information sources. I show how this is a generalization of the frame problem, and present a solution based on generalized frame effects; and How to generate a pipeline of information-processing commands that will produce an output containing exactly the desired information. I present a new approach to goal regression.
