and a set of propositions, called history, about action occurrences, intended actions and properties of the world all at various points in time, the problem is to complete the picture as much as possible and determine what has already happened, what the intentions of the agent are, and what may happen

In most research on reasoning about actions and reasoning about narratives one either reasons about hypothetical execu-tion of actions, or about actions that actually occurred. In this paper we develop a high level language that allows the expression of intended or planned action sequences. Unlike

. There are neither enough carrots nor enough sticks to improve undergraduate education without the commitment and action of students and faculty members. They are the precious resources on whom the improvement of undergraduate education depends. But how can students and faculty members improve undergraduate

Paradigms drawn from cognitive psychology have provided new insight into covert stages of action. These states include not only intending actions that will eventually be executed, but also imagining actions, recognizing tools, learning by observation, or even understanding the behavior of other

An overview is presented of an integrated programming language and system designed to support the construction and maintenance of distributed programs: programs in which modules reside and execute at communicating, but geographically distinct, nodes. The language is intended to support a class

In this paper we introduce a template-based method for recognizing human actions called Action MACH. Our approach is based on a Maximum Average Correlation Height (MACH) filter. A common limitation of template-based methods is their inability to generate a single template using a collection

Abstract. In this paper we address the problem of commonsense reasoning about action by appealing to Occam’s razor—we should accept the simplest hypothesis explaining the observed phenomena—to generalise the commonsense law of inertia. In particular, we identify the intended interpretation

Abstract: In this paper, using Quasi-valuation method and Semi-infinitary method, we present two logical systems for intending to perform an action and the corresponding semantics, and then prove that the systems are sound and complete with respect to the semantics, respectively. Key words

Web spamming refers to actions intended to mislead search engines into ranking some pages higher than they deserve. Recently, the amount of web spam has increased dramatically, leading to a degradation of search results. This paper presents a comprehensive taxonomy of current spamming techniques

Filter-Rule AVP that accommodates extensions for classification, conditions and actions. It does not support traffic identification for packets using Explicit Congestion Notification as defined in RFC 3168 and does not provide specific actions when the flow(s) described by the Filter-Rule are congested
