Recent research has shown that virtual agents expressing empathic emotions toward users have the potentiality to enhance human-machine interaction. To provide empathic capabilitie...
We address the problem of transferring information learned from experiments to a different environment, in which only passive observations can be collected. We introduce a formal ...
The paper proposes a formal analysis of a theory of norms resulting from pulling together Anderson’s reduction, the analysis of counts-as, and a novel approach to the formal rep...
We propose program fields, a formal representation for groups of related programs, as a new abstraction to support future software engineering research in several areas. We will d...
: From a maintenance perspective, only software that is well understood can evolve in a controlled and high-quality manner. Software evolution itself is a knowledge-driven process ...
The formal representation of mereological aspects of canonical anatomy (parthood relations) is relatively well understood. The formal representation of other aspects of canonical ...
Research advances in geospatial automated image analysis tools and feature extraction algorithms have matured in recent times to levels of practical applicability. The consolidati...
Business domain ontologies offer great opportunities for facilitating communication between people in business, for improving the enterprise system engineering processes and for cr...
Clinical guidelines are becoming more and more important as a means to improve the quality of care by supporting medical staff. Modelling guidelines in a computer-processable form ...
