A growing number of information technology systems and services are being developed to change users’ attitudes or behavior or both. Despite the fact that attitudinal theories from social psychology have been quite extensively applied to the study of user intentions and behavior, these theories have been developed for predicting user acceptance of the information technology rather than for provi...

Abstract. The problem of how to remove information from an agent’s stock of beliefs is of paramount concern in the belief change literature. An inquiring agent may remove beliefs for a variety of reasons: a belief may be called into doubt or the agent may simply wish to entertain other possiblities. In the prominent AGM framework [1, 8] for belief change, upon which the work here is based, one ...

The space-time expansion has a new perspective on the universe phenomena. In this article, key features of Space-Time Expansion Theory are summarized and discussed, with three postulates incorporating different insights into behavior expansion, gravity, curvature, time itself. Gravity is not an attraction; it push. Inertia, free fall, principles theory relativity some other phenomena support au...

In this paper, we show that preferences intervene twice in argumentation frameworks: i) to compute standard solutions (i.e. extensions), and ii) to refine those solutions (i.e. to return only the preferred extensions). The two roles are independent and obey to distinct postulates. After introducing and studying the postulates, we provide an example of a formal framework which models the two rol...

7.1 INTRODUCTION Evidence proving that a particular microbe causes disease in humans is frequently difficult to obtain. For over a century, Koch's postulates have been accepted as being as close to proof as is likely to be achieved. If any microorganism satisfies these postulates, then most microbiologists would accept that the organism was indeed pathogenic. Koch's postulates are as follows: (...

I am researching the traditional belief revision integrity constraints and postulates, which are designed for deductively closed belief spaces, and revising them so that they are applicable to implemented knowledge representation and reasoning systems with deductively open belief spaces (DOBS). A knowledge representation and reasoning system must be able to deal with contradictions and revise b...

A proposed measure of voting power should satisfy two conditions to be plausible: first, it must conceptually justified, capturing the intuitive meaning what is; second, reasonable postulates. This paper studies a set postulates, appropriate for priori power, concerning blockers (or vetoers) in binary game. We specify and motivate five such namely, subadditivity blocker minimum-power each weak ...
