Probabilistic I/O automata (PIOA) constitute a model for distributed or concurrent systems that incorporates a notion of probabilistic choice. The PIOA model provides a notion of ...
First-order probabilistic models are recognized as efficient frameworks to represent several realworld problems: they combine the expressive power of first-order logic, which serv...
Though overriding as a single and default mode of inheritance is adequate for most knowledge bases, a large class of applications naturally requires several inheritance modes and ...
Recent experimental results have shown that the strength of resolution, the propositional DPLL procedure, the KSAT procedure for description logics, or related tableau-like implem...
We consider the two-fold problem of representing collective beliefs and aggregating these beliefs. We propose a novel representation for collective beliefs that uses modular, tran...
