Coupling Methodological Commitments to Make Sense of Socio-Psychological Experience

Sense-Specific Implicative Commitments

Natural language processing systems, even when given proper syntactic and semantic interpretations, still lack the common sense inference capabilities required for genuinely understanding a sentence. Recently, there have been several studies developing a semantic classification of verbs and their sentential complements, aiming at determining which inferences people draw from them. Such construc...

STS-Tool: Using Commitments to Specify Socio-Technical Security Requirements

In this paper, we present STS-Tool, the modelling and analysis support tool for STS-ml, an actorand goal-oriented security requirements modelling language for Socio-Technical Systems (STSs). STS-Tool allows designers to model a socio-technical system at a high-level of abstraction, while expressing constraints (security needs) over the interactions between the actors in the STS, and derive secu...

Nidovirus transcription: how to make sense...?

Many positive-stranded RNA viruses use subgenomic mRNAs to express part of their genetic information. To produce structural and accessory proteins, members of the order Nidovirales (corona-, toro-, arteri- and roniviruses) generate a 3' co-terminal nested set of at least three and often seven to nine mRNAs. Coronavirus and arterivirus subgenomic transcripts are not only 3' co-terminal but also ...
