  Preface to Problem Frames
A problem frame defines the shape of a problem by capturing the characteristics and interconnections of the parts of the world it is concerned with, and the concerns and difficulties that are likely to arise.
A number of elementary and composite problem frames are discussed and illustrated, along with a number of flavours and variants, and some of the concerns they raise are examined.
Problem frames, and the related ideas, are meant to be used as a front end to what you would do anyway; or to suggest how you might extend or modify your practice; or, perhaps, just to clarify it.

 The Frame Problem (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Fall 2005 Edition)
To most AI researchers, the frame problem is the challenge of representing the effects of action in logic without having to represent expicitly a large number of intuitively obvious non-effects.
To many philosophers, the AI researchers' frame problem is suggestive of a wider epistemological issue, namely whether it is possible, in principle, to limit the scope of the reasoning required to derive the consequences of an action.
The frame problem generated a great deal of work in logic-based artificial intelligence in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and its philosophical implications were under closest scrutiny at around the same time.

 Fodor's Frame Problem and Relevance Theory
Fodor's is the loosest and grandest reinterpretation of all (Fodor 1987).
The "frame problem", he writes, is: "Hamlet's problem: when to stop thinking" (p.140); the problem of formalizing the distinction between "kooky facts" and "computationally relevant ones" (p.145); "just the problem of nondemonstrative inference" (p.146); "the problem of formalizing our intuitions about inductive relevance" (p.148).
Fodor concludes that "the frame problem is too important to leave it to the hackers" (p.148), and Hayes retorts that "Fodor doesn't know the frame problem from a bunch of bananas" (Hayes 1987: 132).

 Frame Problem
In its original formulation the frame problem described a stubborn difficulty arising in a first-order logic formulation, the situation calculus, in specifying which things remain unchanged when reasoning about changes in a domain.
Since then, the frame problem has achieved a famous—or rather notorious—reputation in the Artificial Intelligence community as an example of a seemingly simple, specific problem in AI uncovering deeper and even philosophical difficulties for the task of creating artificial intelligence.
Since its original statement as a representational problem in the situation calculus, many researchers in AI have come to see the frame problem as a frustratingly general problem for machine reasoning.

 Problems, Problems: The Frame Problem as a Symptom of the Symbol Grounding Problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
That is the symbol grounding problem: The connection between the symbols in a symbol system and what they are interpretable as being ABOUT must be grounded in something other than just the mediation of outside interpreters if they are to be candidates for what is going on in our heads when we think.
The problem is described as calling for a means of framing what is and is not altered by a change, but it is clear that the "change" is not especially one that is caused by an "action," like leaving the room, but, in principle, by any new data.
I think the reason the frame problem keeps rearing its head is because there is something intrinsically wrong with an ungrounded symbolic approach to modeling the mind (if not to building useful tools for systems with minds).

 Frame problem
In Artificial Intelligence the frame problem has a number of possible formulations.
John McCarthy and Patrick J. Hayes introduced the term "frame problem" in their 1969 essay, "Some Philosophical Problems from the Standpoint of Artificial Intelligence".
From its origins as a special problem in AI, it now has a broader meaning in philosophy and knowledge representation.

 Hayes 1973: The Frame Problem and Related Problems in AI
The frame problem refers to the difficulty of representing what is not changed by an event.
An obvious solution to the frame problem is to add special axioms to the domain representation, called frame axioms that explicitly list what is not changed by each action.
The main difficulty with this approach is that adding new inference rules (to, e.g., modus ponens or resolution) may cause the logic to become inconsistent, which is hard to test for since consistency is not decidable (unless the expressive power of the language is reduced).

 Frame problem (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In philosophy, the frame problem is the problem of how a rational agent bounds the set of beliefs to change when an action is performed.
This problem originates from artificial intelligence, where it is formulated as the problem of avoiding to specify all conditions that are not affected by actions, in the context of representing dynamical domains in a formal logic.
In philosophy, the problem is about rationality in general, rather than being a technical problem related to formal logic in particular.

 The Frame Problem   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
In the last section of part 3, in proving that one person could get into conversation with another, we were obliged to add the hypothesis that if a person has a telephone he still has it after looking up a number in the telephone book.
A number of fluents are declared as attached to the frame and the effect of an action is described by telling which fluents are changed, all others being presumed unchanged.
Another approach to the frame problem may follow from the methods of the next section; and in part 5 we mention a third approach which may be useful, although we have not investigated it at all fully.

 Problem Frame
A problem frame is a way of categorizing problems, and MichaelJackson is producing a catalog of problem frames that is sort of like a catalog of design patterns.
Everyone (involved in development) should be familiar with the problem frames and the sets of techniques appropriate for each, and how to identify the (possibly overlapping) frames in their problem, and how to combine the techniques apropos for those frames into a working method for the problem in hand.
A problem frame defines an architecture with respect to a given class of problems, establishing a context in which a resulting structure is created.

Another approach to the frame problem seeks to remain within the strictures of classical (monotonic) logic (Reiter, 1991).
For example, it is assumed that all the possible causes of a certain kind of effect are known, or that all the actual events or actions operating on a given situation are known.

 Swamped By The Updates
Such a provision entails the complicating postulates that "an active frame cannot be maintained unless its terminal conditions are satisfied" and that "even the satisfied frames must be assigned to terminals of superior frames," along with "any substantial fragments of 'data' that have been observed and represented"(248).
Let me propose, more specifically, that, in thinking of the frame as an array of signs, the frame problem should be recast as a one of semioclasm, of "breaks" between signifiers and signifieds arising from changes in referents (which idea should be distinguished from Roland Barthes's notion of "'semioclasty,' a destruction of the sign"20).
Certainly the theoretical particulars of this semiotized frame will remain vague for some time-in large part because AI and ES workers have no more productive agreement on the conceptual architecture or the terminology of the frame than semioticians have on those of the sign array-but the advantages of the shift are not difficult to argue.

The frame problem can be described as the task of any agent acting in a dynamic environment to keep its model of the world and its knowledge in general in synchrony with the world.
STRIPS and STRIPS-like systems approach this problem by building goal and state trees that attempt to track the dependencies of knowledge on other knowledge so that when a particular information is invalidated, its antecedents can be efficiently and completely traced and adjusted.

 Salomon TwinMetal frame & Rivet Issue
Salomon are so confident in the twin metal frame technology, that not only are they using it this year, they will also be using it on the 2003 TR skates.
Last year the rumour was that only a few early batches of skates from 2001 were affected, and that it was rumoured to be because of a problem on a particular rivet machine sometimes not riveting the frame parts tightly enough.
I'm sure that Salomon are confident that they have fixed the problem, as it would be pretty foolish of them to bet the inline skate part of the business on a frame that failed, if even occasionally, last year by re-introducing that same frame this year.
