Abstract. This paper introduces Higher-Order Bayesian Networks, a probabilistic reasoning formalism which combines the efficient reasoning mechanisms of Bayesian Networks with the...
A new multiagent programmingparadigm based on the transactional logic model' is developed. This paradigm enables us to construct a Distributed agent transactional program (DA...
—With the wide utilization of Petri nets, many researchers suggest that Petri nets should be reused and shared. Emerging the Semantic Web technologies, such as ontologies, can pl...
Abstract Constraint logic programming (CLP) is a generalization of the pure logic programming paradigm, having similar model-theoretic, fixpoint and operational semantics [9]. Sinc...
Knowledge representation in logics, even in the order-sorted logic that includes a sort hierarchy, tends to lose the conciseness and the nuances of natural language. If we could c...
