TRANSLATES OF VAGUE $\beta$-ALGEBRA

VASA: An algebra for vague spatial data in databases

Many geographical applications deal with objects in space that cannot be adequately described by determinate, crisp spatial concepts because of their intrinsically indeterminate and vague nature. Geographical information systems and spatial database systems are currently unable to cope with this kind of data. To support the efficient representation, querying, and manipulation of vague spatial d...

VAGUE RINGS AND VAGUE IDEALS

In this paper, various elementary properties of vague rings are obtained. Furthermore, the concepts of vague subring, vague ideal, vague prime ideal and vague maximal ideal are introduced, and the validity of some relevant classical results in these settings are investigated.

Beta-Algebra: Towards a Relational Algebra for Graph Analysis

Graph analysis is an essential tool to understand natural and man-made networks, such as social networks, food webs, transportation infrastructures, etc. Although graph analysis has fomented the development of algorithms, visual tools, and distributed processing frameworks, there is still little support for analysis at the query language level. Current graph query languages are mostly concerned...

Vague Existence Implies Vague Identity

Vague parts and vague identity

We propose that not all such arguments are on a par. The first section of the paper distinguishes dialectically effective from dialectically ineffective arguments against metaphysical vagueness. The second section constructs an argument against metaphysical vagueness – specifically, an argument against objects that are indeterminate in what parts they have – which promises to be dialectically e...
