Formal analyses of social action for Distributed A.I. (DAI) have focussed, almost exclusively, on scenarios in which participating agents have a joint intention to act. While such ...
For large problems the ATMS often becomes the main resource consumer in any reasoning system. We propose an architecture (the 2vATMS) that combines the advantages of two techniques...
This paper describes a computational model of similarity developed to support analogical software reuse. Similarity is computed from conceptual descriptions of software artifacts o...
This paper presents a lexical model dedicated to the semantic representation and interpretation of individual words in unrestricted text, where sense discrimination is difficult t...
We introduce the multiple capacitated job shop scheduling problem as a generalization of the job shop scheduling problem. In this problem machines may process several operations s...
Default logic, one of the best known formalisms to express common sense reasoning, does not allow to reason by cases in its standard formulations. We propose a natural and easy way...
