%T BABY-SIT: A Computational Medium Based on Situations
%X While situation theory and situation semantics provide an appropriate framework for a realistic model-theoretic treatment of natural language, serious thinking on their `computational' aspects has just started. Existing proposals mainly offer a Prolog- or Lisp-like programming environment with varying degrees of divergence from the ontology of situation theory. In this paper, we introduce a computational medium (called BABY-SIT) based on situations. The primary motivation underlying BABY-SIT is to facilitate the development and testing of programs in domains ranging from linguistics to artificial intelligence in a unified framework built upon situation-theoretic constructs.
%K computational situation theory, situation semantics, ASTL (a situation-theoretic language), PROSIT (programming in situation theory), BABY-SIT, natural language semantics, knowledge representation, inference, KEE (knowledge engineering environment).
