Instances of the futile questioning problem abound in applications, especially, in the area of artificial intelligence. The problem can be represented by a particular quantified Boolean formula.

This paper investigates how people do ‘questioning’ and ‘responding’ in Italian ordinary conversations. I focus on the features of both question...

Models aim at rebuilding certain aspects of real phenomena using some given level of description, complex system science in particular endeavors at rebuilding complex high-level behavior from more simple, more reliable and better-understood “atomic” mechanisms at an allegedly lower level. Simulation-based models are frequently used, as analytical solutions are seldom available and limited to si...

Why do we ask questions? Because we want to have some information. But why this particular kind of information? Because only information of this particular kind is helpful to resolve the decision problem that the agent faces. In this paper I argue that questions are asked because their answers help to resolve the questioner’s decision problem, and that this assumption helps us to interpret inte...
