Many works have identified the potential benefits of using argumentation in multiagent settings, as a way to implement the capabilities of agents (eg. decision making, communication, negotiation) when confronted with ...

We investigate how abduction and induction can be integrated into a common learning framework. In particular, we consider an extension of Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) for the case in which both the background and the ...

This paper is a survey and critical overview of recent work on the extension of logic programming to perform abductive reasoning (abductive logic programming). We outline the general framework of abduction and its applications ...

This article presents the design and implementation of an air-crew assignment system, for producing and refining a solution to this problem, based on the artificial intelligence principles and techniques of abductive ...

This work considers Internet-based task computations in which a master process assigns tasks, over the Internet, to rational workers and collect their responses. The objective is for the master to obtain the correct task ...

In this paper we present a new system for non-monotonic reasoning performed using abduction. The system, called ACLP, is a programming language based on the framework of Abductive and Constraint Logic Programming (ACLP) ...

We describe a semantic information service that aggregates metadata from a large number of information sources of a large-scale Grid infrastructure. It uses an ontology-based information integration architecture (ActOn) ...

To improve network utilisation and robustness for Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks there is increasing evidence that reactive congestion controls are necessary. However the large bandwidth-delay product and the ...

The increase of networking complexity requires the design of new performance optimisation schemes for delivering sessions to users under different conditions. This paper addresses context-aware, adaptive multiparty sessions ...
