The determinants of household debt have been the subject many scientific studies where income was identified as key factor influencing debt. This is because determines creditworthiness in banks. At same time, behavioural finance research highlights importance subjective factors for individuals’ financial decision-making. aim this paper to verify influence assessment households’ situation (also ...

Traditional financial planning procedures began from taking into account the planner’s initial financial situation, his/her financial goals, and expectations for the future, etc. and then calculating the future cash flows for different time periods under variant scenarios. If the planning result cannot meet the planner’s expectation, then the planner has to adjust the tunable parameters continu...

A fundamental aspect of general reasoning about physical systems is qualitative reasoning about continuous processes. The situation calculus is proposed as a framework for qualitative reasoning with some desirable properties that are less evident in the traditional framework, qualitative physics. However, in order to handle qualitative reasoning about continuous properties, we extend the concur...

A narrative is a course of real events about which we might have incomplete information. Formalisms for reasoning about action may be broadly divided into those which are narrative-based, such as the Event Calculus of Kowalski and Sergot, and those which reason on the level of hypothetical sequences of actions, in particular the Situation Calculus. This paper bridges the gap between these types...

Concurrent events are treated merely by not forbidding them. Narrative is treated as a collection of situations and events and relations among them. Narrative is easier than planning, because it does not require that the effects of events be guaranteed. Prediction is harder than planning, because it requires that the actions be inferred from the motives of the actors.

We consider the problem of planning in complex domains where actions are stochastic, non-instantaneous, may occur concurrently, and time is represented explicitly. Our approach is based on the situation calculus based language Golog. Instead of general search for a sequence of actions, as in classical planning, we consider the problem of computing a deterministic, sequential program (with stoch...
