Abstract
Agents interacting in a dynamically changing spatial environment often need to access the same spatial resources. A typical example is given by moving vehicles that meet at an intersection in a street network. In such situations right-of-way rules regulate the actions the vehicles involved may perform. For this application scenario we show how the Golog framework for reasoning about action and change can be enhanced by external reasoning services that implement techniques known from the domain of Qualitative Spatial Reasoning.
