To further increase the speed of computation, this paper aims to design and implement digital circuits entirely within the domain of multi-valued logic. In a fourvalued logic circuit, each wire carries two bits at a time, each logic gate operates two bits at once, and each memory cell records two bits at one time. To make the multi-valued computation possible, this paper describes a simple four...

Lehoux et al provide a highly valid contribution in conceptualizing value in value propositions for new health technologies and developing an analytic framework that illustrates the interplay between health innovation supply-side logic (the logic of emergence) and demand-side logic (embedding in the healthcare system). This commentary brings forth several considerations on this article. First, ...

We present a basic dynamic epistemic logic of “knowing the value”. Analogous to public announcement in standard DEL, we study “public inspection”, a new dynamic operator which updates the agents’ knowledge about the values of constants. We provide a sound and strongly complete axiomatization for the single and multi-agent case, making use of the well-known Amstrong axioms for dependencies in da...

The multiple-input floating gate transistors were used to simplify the design of multiple valued logic. The Quasi-floating gate node have a well defined DC operating point. The multi-input quasi-floating gate is used for low voltage applications because its effective threshold voltage will be controllered to a low value.

This paper proposes a framework for evaluating information technology investments. The proposed framework integrates value chain analysis with fuzzy logic, activity based costing, and multi-criteria decision analysis. This framework should be particularly useful for organizations in emerging economies, where an uncertain business environment is often combined with a lack of dependable, historic...

Logic and object-orientation (OO) are competing ways of looking at the world. Both view the world in terms of individuals. But logic focuses on the relationships between individuals, and OO focuses on the use of hierarchical classes of individuals to structure information and procedures. In this paper, I investigate the similarities and differences between OO and abductive logic programming mul...

Dynamic epistemic logic plays a key role in reasoning about multi-agent systems. Past approaches to dynamic epistemic logic have typically been focused on actions whose primary purpose is to communicate information from one agent to another. These actions are unable to alter the valuation of any proposition within the system. In fields such as security, it is easy to imagine situations in which...
