The artificial neural networks that are used to recognize shapes typically use one or more layers of learned feature detectors that produce scalar outputs. By contrast, the comput...
We introduce Process Algebra with Hooks (PAH). In PAH processes represent different layers action, from biochemistry to tissue, and special synchronisations via hook actions ensur...
Current news interfaces are largely driven by recent information, even though many events are better interpreted in context of previous related events. To address this problem, we...

The Principle of Minimal Change is prevalent in various guises throughout the development of areas such as reasoning about action, belief change and nonmonotonic reasoning. Recent...
User models (UM)the explicit representation of all relevant aspects of a user's preferences, beliefs, etc. form the basis of virtually all adaptive systems. While early appro...
A system's constraints characterizes what that system can do. However, a dynamic environment may require that a system alter its constraints. If feedback about a specific situ...
With the rise of the Internet, virtual communities of practice are gaining importance as a mean of sharing and exchanging information. In such environments, information reuse is of...
A number of agent-oriented programming systems are based on a framework of beliefs, desires and intentions (BDI) and more explicitly on the BDI logic of Rao and Georgeff. In this ...
Moving objects are currently represented in databases by means of an explicit representation of their trajectory. However from a physical point of view, or more specifically accor...
