This paper presents methods of default reasoning which allow us to draw negative conclusions that are not available in some of the models for inheritance reasoning. Some of these ...
Abstract. We present a succinct account of dynamic rippling, a technique used to guide the automation of inductive proofs. This simplifies termination proofs for rippling and hence...
In this paper, we propose a peer-to-peer approach to derive and obtain additional context data from lowlevel context data that may be spread over multiple domains in pervasive com...
—This paper describes a model of a hierarchical, heterogeneous knowledge-base. The proposed model consists of an associative level that is implemented by a Kanerva-like sparse di...
Ontology, an explicit specification of shared conceptualization, has been increasingly used to define formal data semantics and improve data reusability and interoperability in en...
