%A Erkan Tin %A Varol Akman %T Situations and Computation: An Overview of Recent Research %X Serious thinking about the computational aspects of situation theory is just starting. There have been some recent proposals in this direction (viz. PROSIT and ASTL), with varying degrees of divergence from the ontology of the theory. We believe that a programming environment incorporating bona fide situation-theoretic constructs is needed and describe our very recent BABY-SIT implementation. A detailed critical account of PROSIT and ASTL is also offered in order to compare our system with these pioneering and influential frameworks. %K computational situation theory, situation semantics, situation schemata, knowledge representation, inference, PROSIT (programming in situation theory), ASTL (a situation-theoretic language), BABY-SIT, KEE (knowledge engineering environment). %P 77-106 %E John Griffith %E Erhard W.
