The Lake Urmia and its satellite wetlands have been selected as a demonstration site for the United Nations Development Program / Global Environment Facility / Department of Environment Conservation of Iranian Wetlands Project. This project aims to demonstrate reduction of the major threats of this wetland protected area coordinated through an integrated management plan. A choice experiment was...

This paper studies the notion of ability and its relation with the notion of action in a multi-agent context. It introduces the distinction between two notions respectively called “theoretical ability” and “ability”. The main contribution of this paper is a model of these notions in the Situation Calculus.

Acid rain still poses a global problem today, exerting many adverse effects on man, animal, and materials. As its research question, the present study tries to find out whether or not acid rains exist in Akure, Nigeria. For so doing, it determines physico-chemical properties of rain water samples, namely pH, temp, Electrical Conductivity (EC), TDS, acidity, SO4-, NO2-, Cl-, and Free CO2. Accord...

The work of the agrarian sector economy is impossible without deep awareness serious environmental situation threat anthropogenic factors’ influence due to increasing intensification system processes in animal husbandry. In addition understanding occurring connection with increase load, real-time information about real agroecosystem necessary. Forecast decision-making, consequences certain acti...

This paper presents the complete integrated planning, executing and learning robotic agent Rogue. We describe Rogue's task planner that interleaves high-level task planning with real world robot execution. It supports multiple, asynchronous goals, suspends and interrupts tasks, and monitors and compensates for failure. We present a general approach for learning situation-dependent rules from ex...

Most commonly-used techniques in smart environments such as ADL recognition are designed and tested for a specific space and a specific person; therefore learning in each environmental situation is treated as a separate context. In this paper, we try to develop a method for recognizing and transferring learned knowledge of activities between different residents. Our method is able to map activi...
