Argumentation theory provides foundations for distributed nonmonotonic reasoning in the form of inter-agent dialogues. However current dialogue models do not accommodate reasoning about possibly conflicting preferences used in arbitrating amongst attacking arguments. We provide a framework for persuasion dialogues that accommodates such reasoning. Agents exchange locutions that implicitly defin...

Until now, AI argumentation-based systems have been mainly developed for handling inconsistency. In that explanation-oriented perspective, only one type of argument has been considered. Several argumentation frameworks have then been proposed for generating and evaluating such arguments. However, recent works on argumentation-based negotiation have emphasized different other types of arguments ...

The Extended Resource Description Framework has been proposed to equip RDF graphs with weak and strong negation, as well as derivation rules, increasing the expressiveness of ordinary RDF graphs. In parallel, the Modular Web framework enables collaborative and controlled reasoning in the Semantic Web. In this paper we exploit the use of the Modular Web framework to specify the modular semantics...

In this article the method of terminological annotation of mathematical documents which is used in a context of text mining (in particular, for RDF network developing of a collection of mathematical documents) is considered. Terminological annotation of mathematical documents is carried out on the basis of universal design technology for applied problems solving developed in ontolinguistic syst...

An important factor in the Joint Operation, interoperability is regarded as the key to win a battle. This study proposes a quantitative method to assess the system interoperability at architecture level based on DoDAF (Department of Defense Architecture Framework). The proposed method works by extracting the systems and their interoperability features from the DoDAF model and by referring to th...

In this paper, the effect of nanocatalytic metal-organic framework based on copper metal and bis-tetrazolamine (CuBTA) ligand functionalized with cobalt (II) oxide nanoparticles on the thermal decomposition behavior of ammonium perchlorate (AP), using differential survey calorimetry (DSC) has been reviewed. First, the metal-organic framework (CuBTA) was synthesized from the raw materials of cop...

In this paper we describe the design, implementation and evaluation of a software framework that supports the development of mobile, context-aware trails-based applications. A trail is a contextually scheduled collection of activities and represents a generic model that can be used to satisfy the activity management requirements of a wide range of context-based time management applications. Tra...

This paper will discuss some of the advantages and complexities in using the Resource Description Framework, RDF, to express learning object metadata following the IEEE LOM standard. We will describe some details of the current draft for a complete RDF binding for LOM and discuss some of the constructs used in that binding. We will then present a so-called SHAME Query Model of this binding that...
