, i. e. the argument A that supports q is found undefeated by a warrant procedure that implements a dialectical analysis. The defeasible argumentation basis of DeLP allows to build applications that deal with incomplete and contradictory information in dynamic domains. Thus, the resulting approach

's reviews of thls hterature are faulted, and their alternative theoretical explanations do not fit the evidence. The utility of the basic emotions approach is also shown in terms of the research it has generated. In their argument against basic emotions. Ortony and Turner (990) distinguished two ways

The purpose of this paper is to study the fundamental mechanism humans use in argumentation and its role in different major approaches to commonsense reasoning in AI and logic programming. We present three novel results: We develop a theory for argumentation in which the acceptability of arguments

Informal arguments that cryptographic protocols are secure can be made rigorous using inductive definitions. The approach is based on ordinary predicate calculus and copes with infinite-state systems. Proofs are generated using Isabelle/HOL. The human effort required to analyze a protocol can

Standard approaches to reasoning with Description Logics (DL) ontologies require them to be consistent. However, as ontologies are complex entities and sometimes built upon other imported ontologies, inconsistencies can arise. In this paper, we present a framework for reasoning with inconsistent DL

The Proposition Bank project takes a practical approach to semantic representation, adding a layer of predicate-argument information, or semantic role labels, to the syntactic structures of the Penn Treebank. The resulting resource can be thought of as shallow, in that it does not represent

on the ordering of decision variables in the graph. Although a function requires, in the worst case, a graph of size exponential in the number of arguments, many of the functions encountered in typical applications have a more reasonable representation. Our algorithms have time complexity proportional

In unit testing, a program is decomposed into units which are collections of functions. A part of unit can be tested by generating inputs for a single entry function. The entry function may contain pointer arguments, in which case the inputs to the unit are memory graphs. The paper addresses

Businesses currently face the daily challenge of managing content efficiently. These businesses are being flooded with information from web Content Man-agement Systems (CMS) that present an all-too-simple picture. Instead, content management systems should solve the problem of turning content into information and information into knowledge. Content Management Systems are not just a product or a technology. CMS is defined as a generic term which refers to a wide range of processes that underpin the “next-generation ” of medium to large-scale websites. Content management is a process which deals with the creation, storage, modification, retrieval and display of data or content. This report evaluates seven open source CMS products. The comparison is based on eight categories as seen from a business perspective. These cat-egories are; applications, data repository, deployment, integration, revision control, user interface, user management and workflow. Each category is

ABSTRACT: This paper examines the views of Fogelin, Woods, Johnstone, etc., concerning deep disa-greements, force-five standoffs, philosophical controversies, etc. My approach is to reconstruct their views and critiques of them as meta-arguments, and to elaborate the meta-argumentative aspects
