Integrating Planning and Execution for Information Gathering

Current specialized planners for query processing are designed to work in local, reliable, and predictable environments. However, there are a number of problems that arise in gathering information from large networks of distributed information. In this environment actions can be executed in parallel to exploit distributed resources, new goals come into the system in the midst of execution, acti...

Integrating Techniques for Event-based Business Intelligence Gathering

Gathering news events on companies to provide business intelligence to financial investors and creditors is a challenging problem. With a plethora of online news providers and tens of thousands of companies to monitor, automating the extraction and fusion of events is crucial. We developed an intelligent agent-based component framework to query and extract events from multiple providers. This f...

A Publish/Subscribe Data Gathering Framework Integrating Wireless Sensor Networks and Mobile Phones

In this report, we propose a data gathering framework integrating wireless sensors with mobile phones based on the observation that individual mobile devices can serve as supplement to the static deployed wireless sensor networks. The framework employs an intermediate broker network built upon DHT overlay in its basic infrastructure to dispatch data by means of publish/subscribe paradigm. A loc...

CONNECTING T AND LATTICE-VALUED CONVERGENCES

$top$-filters can be used to define $top$-convergence spaces in the lattice-valued context. Connections between $top$-convergence spaces and lattice-valued convergence spaces are given. Regularity of a $top$-convergence space has recently been defined and studied by Fang and Yue. An equivalent characterization is given in the present work in terms of convergence of closures of $top$-filters.  M...
