Conceptual Graphs and Formal Concept Analysis have in common basic concerns: the focus on conceptual structures, the use of diagrams for supporting communication, the orientation b...
Wireless sensor, actuator networks (WSANs) distinguish themselves from wireless sensor networks by the need to coordinate actuators' actions, real-time constraints on communi...
Intelligent systems are often called upon to form plans that direct their own or other agents' activities. For these systems, the ability to describe plans to people in natur...
This paper presents a specifically database-inspired approach (called DOGMA) for engineering formal ontologies, implemented as shared resources used to express agreed formal semant...
Combinatorial optimization problems naturally arise in many application areas, including logistics, manufacturing, supplychain management, and resource allocation. They often give...
