Specialising The Other Way Around In this paper, we present a program transformation based on bottom up evaluation of logic programs. We explain that using this technique, programs can be "specialised" w.r.t. a set of unit clauses instead of a query. Moreover, examples indicate that excellent specialisation can be obta...

Learning and Decision-Making in the Framework of Fuzzy Lattices A novel theoretical framework is delineated for supervised and unsupervised learning. It is called framework of fuzzy lattices, or FLframework for short, and it suggests mathematically sound tools for dealing separately and/or jointly with disparate types ...

A Description Logic for Vague Knowledge This work introduces the concept language ALCFM which is an extension of ALC to many-valued logics. ALCFM allows to express vague concepts, e.g. more or less enlarged or very small. To realize this extension to many-valued logics, the classical notions of satisfiability and subsu...

Towards Robust Teams with Many Agents Agents in deployed multi-agent systems monitor other agents to coordinate and collaborate robustly. However, as the number of agents monitored is scaled up, two key challenges arise: (i) the number of monitoring hypotheses to be considered can grow exponentially in the number of ag...

Intelligent Telecommunication Technologies anage telecommunication networks. Building such applications involved acquiring valuable telecommunication knowledge from human experts and then applying this knowledge, typically by embedding it in an expert system. This knowledge acquisition process is so time-consuming that...

Interactive Pedagogical Drama This paper describes an agent-based approach to realizing interactive pedagogical drama. Characters choose their actions autonomously, while director and cinematographer agents manage the action and its presentation in order to maintain story structure, achieve pedagogical goals, and prese...
