When must Should Be Chosen
This paper describes ongoing work on the choice of modal expressions in the generation of recommendations about courses of study within the B.A.-program of the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. We focus our work on the German modal verbs müssen (must), können (can), the subjunctive form sollte (should), and dürfen (may). The idea is to combine insights from formal semantics into the meaning of modal ver...
متن کاملDatabase Replication: If You Must be Lazy, be Consistent
Due to severe performance penalties associated with synchronous replication, there is a significant interest in asynchronous replica management protocols. Lazy protocols currently in use either do not guarantee consistency and serializability as needed by transactional semantics or they impose restrictions on placement of data and which data object can be updated. In this paper we consider an a...
متن کاملYour Conscience You Must Keep, or it Must be Kept for You
Parents in several cultures ’discipline’ their daughters to inculcate the supposedly feminine virtues. The measures taken by parents range from the benign to the brutal across societies. The paper formalizes the idea that this cross-cultural process can be understood as an equilibrium outcome of a signaling game between parents of girls and prospective suitors. We identify the conditions that m...
متن کاملWhatever You Say
This paper addresses an important problem in multi-agent coordination: the formal representation of parameters in the content of agent intentions that are only partially specified (e.g., when the intended action has not yet been executed and values for the parameters have not yet been chosen or the authority for choosing such values has been delegated to others). For example, Abe might intend t...
متن کاملTesting the Hypothesis of Modified Dynamics with Low Surface Brightness Galaxies and Other Evidence
The rotation curves of low surface brightness galaxies provide a unique data set with which to test alternative theories of gravitation over a large dynamic range in size, mass, surface density, and acceleration. Many clearly fail, including any in which the mass discrepancy appears at a particular length-scale. One hypothesis, MOND [Milgrom 1983, ApJ, 270, 371], is consistent with the data. In...
