Emerging Web standards promise a network of heterogeneous yet interoperable Web Services. Web Services would greatly simplify the development of many kinds of data integration and...
We propose a purely logical framework for planning in partially observable environments. Knowledge states are expressed in a suitable fragment of the epistemic logic S5. We show h...
This article presents a high-level discussion of some problems that are unique to web search engines. The goal is to raise awareness and stimulate research in these areas.
Symmetry breaking in CSPs has attracted consid erable attention in recent years. Various general schemes have been proposed to eliminate sym metries during search. In general,...

A corpus-based knowledge representation system consists of a large collection of disparate knowledge fragments or schemas, and a rich set of statistics computed over the corpus. W...
A longstanding goal in planning research is the ability to generalize plans developed for some set of environments to a new but similar environment, with minimal or no replanning....

The iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm [2] is a popular method for modeling 3D objects from range data. The classical ICP algorithm rests on a rigid surface assumption. Build...
The success of the Semantic Web crucially depends on the easy creation, integration and use of semantic data. For this purpose, we consider an integration scenario that defies co...
Formalisms and axiomatic theories are designed to support reasoning, they are often intended with a preferred interpretation and a targeted ontology. Questions of proper interpret...
We have created LADDER, the first language to describe how sketched diagrams in a domain are drawn, displayed, and edited. The difficulty in creating such a language is choosing...
