The task of finding the optimum of some function f(x) is commonly accomplished by generating and testing sample solutions iteratively, choosing each new sample x heuristically on t...
In this paper we propose a new tool called OWL-CM (OWL Combining Matcher) that deals with uncertainty inherent to ontology mapping process. On the one hand, OWL-CM uses the techniq...
An ontology of observation and measurement is proposed, which models the relevant information processes independently of sensor technology. It is kept at a sufficiently general lev...
We show that the first-order theory of structural subtyping of non-recursive types is decidable. Let be a language consisting of function symbols (representing type constructors)...
We study the problem of approximating pseudoBoolean functions by linear pseudo-Boolean functions. Pseudo-Boolean functions generalize ordinary Boolean functions by allowing the fu...
