We investigate rule dependency graphs and their colorings for characterizing the computation of answer sets of logic programs. To this end, we develop a series of operational chara...
We propose a general scheme for the cooperation of different constraint solvers. A uniform interface for constraint solvers allows to formally specify information exchange between...
This paper uses robot experience to explore key concepts of autonomy, life and being. Unfortunately, there are no widely accepted definitions of autonomy, life or being. Using a ne...
Service-oriented architectures enable services to be dynamically selected and integrated at runtime, thus enabling system flexibility and adaptiveness—autonomic attributes that...
A growing number of applications seek to incorporate automatically generated narrative structure into interactive virtual environments. In this paper, we evaluate a representation...
