Abstract
One of the recognized problems in AI is the gap between applications and formal foundations. This book (as the previous one in the DRUMS Handbook series) does not present the final solution to this problem, but at least does an attempt to reduce the gap by bringing together state-of-the-art material from both sides and to clarify their mutual relation. In this book the main theme is agents and dynamics: dynamics of reasoning processes (as we have seen in the previous volume in this series), but also dynamics of the external world. Agents often reason about both types of dynamics.
