Abstract
We introduce the subject of automating commonsense reasoning. The key issues of commonsense reasoning include: representation; objects, properties, events, and time; object identity; reasoning; effects of events; context-sensitive events; nondeterministic effects; concurrent events; space; indirect effects; preconditions; the commonsense law of inertia; delayed effects; continuous change; release from the commonsense law of inertia; triggered events; default reasoning; mental states; and reasoning types. Any method for automated commonsense reasoning must address representation, commonsense entities, commonsense domains, commonsense phenomena, and reasoning. We give a brief history of commonsense reasoning. We review logical and nonlogical methods for commonsense reasoning. We introduce the event calculus, and we review the advantages and disadvantages of logic for automated commonsense reasoning.
