A Portable Process Language

چکیده
Process representation languages designed to support execution have evolved to support specialized reasoning capabilities like action selection and task decomposition, but do not readily support inferences that one might need for explanation or question answering. In this paper, we report on a process language, PPL, that we have designed to serve as a bridge between a representation designed for execution and a representation designed for applications such as question answering and explanation generation. Through its use of a propositional-style representation of process structure, PPL can enable the use of generalized reasoning methods for those purposes. PPL is novel in that it directly encodes the process "flow chart" in a neutral, KIF-like syntax, allowing other modules to introspect on the process structure.

SUMMARY A visual Java-based tool for drawing and annotating biological pathways was developed. This tool integrates the possibilities of charting elements with different attributes (size, color, labels), drawing connections between elements in distinct characteristics (color, structure, width, arrows), as well as adding links to molecular biology databases, promoter sequences, information on th...
متن کاملTowards a XML Fuzzy Structured Query Language
The paper introduces XFSQL (XML Fuzzy Structured Query Language), a preliminary prototype of a portable query language for Fuzzy Database Management Systems (FDBMS) using the XML formatting rules. The need for a portable query language for FDBMSs is discussed, and a basic language syntax and its associated datamodel are proposed. Additionally, the paper proposes a framework for implementing XFS...
