The Galton Case
20 years ago, Anthony Galton vanished, along with his bride and several thousand dollars of the Galton fortune. Now his dying mother wants him found, and Lew Archer is on the case. But what Archer finds - a headless skeleton, a clever con and a terrified blonde - reveals a game whose stakes are so high that someone is willing to kill.
Handbook of Temporal Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence
This collection represents the primary reference work for researchers and students in the area of Temporal Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence. Temporal reasoning has a vital role to play in many areas, particularly Artificial Intelligence. Yet, until now, there has been no single volume collecting together the breadth of work in this area. This collection brings together the leading researchers in a range of relevant areas and provides an coherent description of the breadth of activity concerning temporal reasoning in the filed of Artificial Intelligence. Key Features: - Broad range: foundations; techniques and applications - Leading researchers around the world have written the chapters - Covers many vital applications - Source book for Artificial Intelligence, temporal reasoning - Approaches provide foundation for many future software systems · Broad range: foundations; techniques and applications · Leading researchers around the world have written the chapters · Covers many vital applications · Source book for Artificial Intelligence, temporal reasoning · Approaches provide foundation for many future software systems
Qualitative Spatial Change
Spatial change occurs whenever objects possess different spatial attributes at different times. This book discusses in detail the ingredients for a theory of qualitative spatial change: time, space, objects, their spatial attributes, and how these can vary. It provides a solid formal and theoretical basis for the computational modelling of spatial change.
The Moment of Change
This book is a systematic history of one of the oldest problems in the philosophy of space and time: How is the change from one state to its opposite to be described? To my knowledge it is the first comprehensive book providing information about and analysis of texts on this topic throughout the ages. The target audience I envisaged are advanced students and scholars of analytic philosophy and the history of philosophy who are interested in the philosophy of space and time. Authors treated in this book range from Plato, Aristotle, the logicians of the late Middle Ages, Kant, Brentano and Russell to contemporary authors such as Chisholm, Hamblin, Sorabji or Graham Priest, taking into account ...
Formal Ontology in Information Systems
Researchers in areas such as artificial intelligence, formal and computational linguistics, biomedical informatics, conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering and information retrieval have come to realize that a solid foundation for their research calls for serious work in ontology, understood as a general theory of the types of entities and relations that make up their respective domains of inquiry. In all these areas, attention is now being focused on the content of information rather than on just the formats and languages used to represent information. The clearest example of this development is provided by the many initiatives growing up around the project of the Semantic Web. And, as t...
Mathematical Aspects of Artificial Intelligence
There exists a history of great expectations and large investments involving artificial intelligence (AI). There are also notable shortfalls and memorable disappointments. One major controversy regarding AI is just how mathematical a field it is or should be. This text includes contributions that examine the connections between AI and mathematics, demonstrating the potential for mathematical applications and exposing some of the more mathematical areas within AI. The goal is to stimulate interest in people who can contribute to the field or use its results. Included in the work by M. Newborn on the famous Deep BLue chess match. He discusses highly mathematical techniques involving graph theo...
Time
The anthology presents a selection of articles on the subject of "time". Among these are a number of German-language contributions presented in English translation for the first time ever, including seminal articles by Gunter Muller, Eberhard Lammert and Kate Hamburger. The authors address their shared topic from three major disciplinary angles: philosophy, narrative theory and cognitivist studies. As our experience of time is intrinsically linked to our ability to recount and narrate events, the productive design and receptive re-construction of time constructs plays a particularly important role in narrative theory.
Process, Action, and Experience
Process, Action, and Experience offers a radical new approach to the philosophy of mind and action, taking processes to be the central subject matter. An international team of contributors consider what kinds of things processes are, and explore the progressive nature of action and conscious experience.
Spatial Information Theory
This volume contains the papers presented at the "Conference on Spatial Information Theory", held in Ellicottville, New York in September 2005. COSIT 2005 was the 7th International Conference held under the COSIT name.
