Belief Change Survey Traces Evolution from Doyle to AGM

A recent study published on arXiv (2608.14567) offers a comprehensive review of belief change, laying out both historical and theoretical groundwork for computational applications. This review is inspired by the foundational taxonomy established by Doyle and London in 1980 and charts the progression of belief revision from its computational roots through the AGM framework to modern methodologies. It explores the connections between pre-AGM computational pragmatism and AGM theoretical constructs, highlighting both continuities and changes. The paper also investigates the evolution of each taxonomical category in the post-AGM landscape, pinpointing theoretical bases and historical contexts that pose current implementation challenges. Ultimately, it seeks to establish a foundation for systematic analysis and engineering-oriented research, paving the way for future studies on robust computational models that integrate historical perspectives with formal assurances.
