Abstract
Practical decision theoretic reasoning requires the construction of lo cal, problem-specific models in which attention is confined to a restr icted universe of propositions. Such a restricted universe is called a small world. Managing the construction and revision of small world mo dels can itself be viewed as a meta-level decision problem. This paper presents a theoretical framework for understanding and analyzing many of the issues associated with the management of small world models.
