Sumari:<p>We present the language <em>PC+</em> for probabilistic reasoning about actions, which is a generalization of the action language <em>C+</em> that allows to deal with probabilistic as well as nondeterministic effects of actions. We define a formal semantics of <em>PC+</em> in terms of probabilistic transitions between sets of states. Using a concept of a history and its belief state, we then show how several important problems in reasoning about actions can be concisely formulated in our formalism.</p>
