This paper focuses on the features of belief change when agents have to consider information received from other agents. We focus on belief change operators when agents have to process messages about a static world. We propose to consider agents’ belief state as a set of pairs 〈belief, origin of the belief〉 combined with a preference relation over the agents embedded in the multi-agent system. ...

Bone Joint J 2013;95-B, Supple A:124–8. Received 7 September 2013; Accepted after revision 8 September 2013 Isolated patellofemoral arthritis is a common condition and there are varying opinions on the most effective treatments. Non-operative and operative treatments have failed to demonstrate effective long-term treatment for those in an advanced stage of the condition. Newer designs and incre...

Inspired by previous work on emergent communication in referential games, we propose a novel multi-modal, multi-step referential game, where the sender and receiver have access to distinct modalities of an object, and their information exchange is bidirectional and of arbitrary duration. The multi-modal multi-step setting allows agents to develop an internal communication significantly closer t...

This study investigates how two feedback forms and sequences influence peer revision. The included: written asynchronous computer-mediated communication (hereafter WACMC) in Google Docs traditional oral face-to-face interaction OF2F). These were used sequences: WACMC followed by OF2F (WACMC–OF2F) (OF2F–WACMC). Participants twenty-six Vietnamese EFL students. After training, students completed f...

AGM belief revision theory and the BMS framework of dynamic epistemic logic both deal with the formalization of belief change, the former in a single agent setting and the latter in a multiagent setting. In this paper we study the relation between these two formalisms. To be fair, we restrict our attention to the AGM operation of expansion since the original BMS framework does not allow for bel...

The current study by Won and colleagues concluded that patients undergoing revision ACL surgery have a greater incidence of significant varus alignment compared with patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction. The authors also observed that this varus alignment was associated with meniscal pathology and degenerative changes of the knee. The report of varus alignment provides an interesting ...
