• Each table in the database has one column and stores the possible values for a ground fluent term. •Whenever there is complete knowledge about the term, the corresponding table has exactly one row. E.g., the ground fluent term door has only one possible value (Closed ) and so the table for door has exactly one row: Closed. •Whenever there is incomplete knowledge, the table has more than one r...

paper, we attempt to reconstruct the sitcalculus on a dense flow of time. The

This study&rsquos goal is determining the accurate relationship of central bank with its environment through recognizing the conditions of this bank in four aspects of autogeny(internal authority), heterogeny (interaction), discretion(influence in environment) and detachment (organization self usage of it's resources) . This study is discovery and survey in terms of method. Collecting data tool...

In business process management (BPM) it is customary to differentiate between the current (as-is) situation, and the future (to-be) situation and develop models of these situations. In practice you never are able to implement the ideal to-be model, although it is still useful to represent this and update it as the situation changes. A finer distinction between the modelling of this ideal ought-...

Gu map-1 is a modified version of GGH map. It uses same ideal lattices for constructing the trapdoors, while the novelty is that no encodings of zero are given. In this short paper we show that Gu map-1 cannot be used for the instance of witness encryption (WE) based on the hardness of 3-exact cover problem. That is, if Gu map-1 is used for such instance, we can break it by soving a combined 3-...

We utilize the situation calculus to develop a logical model of hypertext systems. The work builds upon the earlier work of Bieber and Kimbrough in the logical modeling of hypertext systems. In our presentation, a particular version of the situation calculus (which includes a language for programming complex actions) developed for the modeling of dynamic worlds and for the control of robotic ag...

Mathematical models for the electrical activity in cardiac cells are normally formulated as systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The equations are nonlinear and describe processes occurring on a wide range of time scales. Under normal accuracy requirements, this makes the systems stiff and therefore challenging to solve numerically. As standard implicit solvers are difficult to im...

Water quality management policies on a river basin scale are of special importance in order to prevent and/or reduce environmental pollution caused by human sources. Industrial effluents are a priority issue particularly in Urban Wastewater Systems (UWS) that receive mixed household and industrial wastewaters, apart from rainfall water. In this paper, we present an analysis and implementation o...

Shapiro et al. [2005; 2006], presented a framework for representing goal change in the situation calculus. In that framework, agents adopt a goal when requested to do so (by some agent reqr ), and they remain committed to the goal unless the request is cancelled by reqr . A common assumption in the agent theory literature, e.g., [Cohen and Levesque, 1990; Rao and Georgeff, 1991], is that achiev...
