We investigate the complexity of temporal defeasible logic, and propose an efficient algorithm to compute the extension of any theory. The logic and algorithm are discussed in regard to modeling deadlines and normative retroactivity.

The present paper is an attempt to assess the nexus between insurgency and underdevelopment in North East India. To achieve this end first various dimensions of insurgencies towards achievement of different goals in different states in the region are narrated. The impact of insurgency on infrastructure, industry including petroleum and tea, and environment are then analyzed. The origin and pers...

Résumé : La terminologie connaît depuis plusieurs années un tournant linguistique important. On s’intéresse aujourd’hui davantage aux mots et à leur utilisation en discours qu’à connaître les choses qu’ils peuvent dénoter. Si effectivement l’approche wüstérienne et l’approche normative sont difficilement applicables stricto sensu et que la terminologie a tout intérêt à s’approprier le signifié,...

Abstract I numerically compute Borda-optimal, i.e., optimal based on the Borda count as normative criterion, labour-income tax schedules for United States. do so in context of a Mirrlees-style model with quasilinear preferences and constant elasticity labour supply. Because is defined finitely many alternatives, computations restrict attention to finite subset set continuous, piecewise linear (...

The influence of the context on behavioral and emotional reactions to a war crime situation military cadets (N = 315) is analyzed. study based Milgram’s experience tragedy My Lai.It examines personal peer obedience an anti-normative order (asking participants whether they would obey shoot unarmed civilians) in five vignettes or scenarios that reproduce conditions MyLai scenario. This experiment...

The article raises the problem of formation professional and creative personality a modern teacher due to skills using oral scientific educational speech as main functional tool his activity. Emphasis is placed on fact that language training future teachers at philological non-philological faculties focused mainly their acquisition normative literary correctness speech. At same time, aspect use...

    Dynamic model,   regional economy,   innovation.   This paper presents a normative balance mathematical model of regional economy that contains a lot of unspecified parameters which are not defined directly by the data of economic statistics. A method for estimation of the model parameters by application of parallel computations on multi-processors systems is presented. It is determined the...

The environment is an essential component of multi-agent systems, which is often used to coordinate the behaviour of individual agents. Recently many programming languages have been proposed to facilitate the implementation of such environments. This extended abstract is motivated by the emerging programming languages that are designed to implement environments in terms of normative concepts su...

Normative systems in a multiagent system must be able to evolve over time, for example due to actions creating or removing norms in the system. The only formal framework to evaluate and classify normative system change methods is the so-called AGM framework of theory change, which has originally been developed as a framework to describe and classify both belief and normative system change.
