Knowing when and how to communicate and coordi nate with other agents in a multi agent system is an important e ciency and reliability question Contex tual rules governing this communication must be pro vided to the agent or generated at runtime through environmental analysis In this paper we describe how the T MS task modeling language is used to encode such contextual coordination rules and h...

The relationship between de jure and de facto judicial independence is much debated in the literature. Some studies find no relationship between the formal rules governing the structure of the judiciary and its de facto independence. Other studies find a significant correlation between de jure and de facto judicial independence, with one study even touting de jure judicial independence as the m...

The authors formulate a homotopy classification and knot theory of exceptional points present non-Hermitian no-go theorem governing the possible configurations their splitting rules on two-dimensional lattice.

Updating memories is critical for adaptive behaviors, but the rules and mechanisms governing that process are still not well defined. During a limited time window, the reactivation of consolidated aversive memories triggers memory lability and induces a plasticity-dependent reconsolidation process in the lateral nucleus of amygdala (LA) [1-5]. However, whether new information is necessary for i...

In Mexico, as in many other countries, there are numerous situations involving bioethics that are not necessarily covered by officially sanctioned policies or guidelines. In such cases, it is reasonable to describe commonly accepted rules, opinions, and practices in a general way so as to illustrate how bioethical questions are being managed. This article describes certain goals and practices r...

This paper argues that the market rules governing the operation of the England and Wales electricity market in combination with the structure of this market presents the two major generators—National Power and PowerGen—with opportunities to earn revenues substantially in excess of their costs of production for short periods of time. Generators competing to serve this market have two strategic w...

In computing, a protocol is a set of rules which is used by computers to communicate with each other across a network. A protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between computing endpoints. In its simplest form, a protocol can be defined as the rules governing the syntax, semantics, and synchronization of communication. Prot...

Representing business rules and the rules governing businesses is in itself a challenging task. Supporting the enactment of the represented rules poses even greater challenges. We present a novel approach to enact decisions represented using the Decision Model and Notation standard. The IDP knowledge base system is used as an inference engine for DMN decision models. The different forms of infe...
