This directory contains 5 versions of a simple elevator controller for IndiGolog that appeared in Reiter 2001 Knowledge in Action book, the ConGolog paper in IJCAI-97, and other examples designed by Hector Levesque.

In all cases, an elevator is operating in a building with 6 floors. The elevator can go up and down and responds to call buttons on floors being on. Once all call buttons are off, the elevator goes to the first floor and stops.

Example 1: the most basic elevator Example 2: using Indigolog's search to minimize up and down motion Example 3: has exogenous actions that can change the world Example 4: has sensing of individual elevator buttons Example 5: has sensing of all elevator buttons

To run these examples, load one of "mainN_swi" or "mainN_ecl" (where N is 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5) depending on which Prolog you have, call main/0, and you should see some output. For examples 3, 4, and 5, you will need to provide a stream of inputs for either simulated exogenous actions or simulated sensing. (See the exampleN.pl file for more details.)

Here is a trace of SWI Prolog on Example 1. The elevator starts on floor 3, and call buttons are lit on floors 2 and 5.
