We introduce a new modal operator, namely [o |α], which allows us to capture the notion of perceiving an observation given that an action has taken place. Formulae of the type [o |α]ϕ mean ’after perceiving observation o, given α was performed, necessarily ϕ’. In this paper, we focus on the challenges concerning sensing with explicit observations, and acting with nondeterministic effects. We present the syntax and semantics, and a correct and decidable tableau calculus for the logic Y1 - 2011 UR - https://opus.bibliothek.fh-aachen.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/4552 N1 - 23rd Australasian Joint Conference, Adelaide, Australia, December 7-10, 2010 SP - 395 EP - 404 PB - Springer CY - Berlin ER -
