This paper presents an algorithm to match a semantic Web service request against semantic Web service advertisements. The algorithm is to be used by systems to discover semantic W...
Commitment to an ontological perspective is a primary aspect of reasoning about the physical world. For complex analytic tasks, the ability to switch between different ontologies ...
This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
