The new payment mechanism

Payment System on the Network

We show the trends in the settlement means which are widely used today and compare the features of each type of means. We further compare to these the “server control type” solution which Oki Electric is promoting. * Section Head in charge of Solution Planning Section, Business Solution Dept., System Solution Company.

Co-occurrence matrices of time series applied to literary works

Recently, it has been proposed to analyse the literary works, plays or novels, using graphs to display the social network of their interacting characters. In this approach, the timeline of the literary work is lost, because the storyline is projected on a planar graph. However, timelines can be used to build some time series and analyse the work by means of vectors and matrices. These series ca...

On natural deduction system for nonmonotonic reasoning

This paper is concerned with the problem of how to construct a natural deduction system for nonmonotonic reasoning. Three possible constructions are investigated, the ones which consists of (1) pure nonmonotonic inference rules; (2) nonmonotonic inference rules plus a nonmonotonic tautology base; or (3) nonmonotonic inference rules plus a nonmonotonic conditional assertion base. Based on a fram...
