Embedding a partially ordered set into a product of chains is a classical way to encode it. Such encodings have been used in various fields such as object oriented programming or ...
— As an emerging research method to deal with information and knowledge processing, various topics of granular computing have recently received more attention by researchers. The...
Ordering a set of items so as to minimize the sum of distances between consecutive elements is a fundamental optimization problem occurring in many settings. While it is NP-hard i...
— In this paper we employ the theory of partially ordered sets to model and analyze a class of decentralized control problems. We show that posets provide a natural way of modeli...
Abstract-- We consider a hybrid knowledge representation system for ontological knowledge bases in order to maintain knowledge consistency between taxonomic knowledge and assertion...
