A number of researchers have investigated the use of planbased approaches to generate textual explanations (e.g., Appelt 1985; Hovy 1988; Moore 1989; Maybury 1990b). This paper extends this approach to generate multimedia explanations by defining three types of communicative acts: linguistic acts (illocutionary and locutionary speech acts), visual acts (e.g., deictic acts), and mediaindependent...

The Central Trigger System (CTS) for the HADES Experiment

During the last year, the HADES detector setup has been improved in order to achieve several goals, in particular to enhance the capability of the readout electronics [1] [2] (up to 10 events/s). This is required to enable HADES to cope with heavy ion beams at SIS18 and later at the SIS100 at FAIR. Here, one of the major changes of the DAQ upgrade was the replacement of the copper-based cables ...

What Does Consciousness Bring to CTS

Striving in the real world is more and more what artificial agents are required to do, and it is not a simple task. Interacting with humans in general, and with students in specific, requires dealing with a great number of information sources, and high volumes of data, in real-time, to adapt to the environment (and other agents). «Consciousness» mechanisms can help and sustain an apt artificial...

Release of the MySQL based implementation of the CTS protocol

Because the existing solutions did not work for this scale or were still in development I started an implementation of the CTS protocol using methods that MySQL provides. Last year we published a paper that introduc...
