One of the main reasons about the success of the Web is that many “regular users” are able to create Web pages that, using hyperlinks, incrementally extend both the size and th...
A key challenge for agent architectures and programming paradigms is to account for defeasible reasoning over mental attitudes and to provide associated conflict resolution mechan...
This paper proposes a method of integrating two different concepts of belief in artificial intelligence: belief as a probability distribution and belief as a logical formula. The...
In agent theory and agent programming, goals constitute the motivational attitude of rational agents and form the key concept in explaining and generating their pro-active behavior...

Despite the acceptance of FIPA-ACL as a standard for agent communications, there exist a gap between its specification and infrastructures to support interactions among agents. The...
Abstract. Parser combinators, often monadic, are a venerable and widelyused solution to read data from some external format. However, the capability to return a partial parse has, ...
Haskell is a functional language, with features such as higher order functions and lazy evaluation, which allow succinct programs. These high-level features present many challenges...
