Representing Space for Practical Reasoning
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a new approach to representing space and time for practical reasoning. Unlike R, the new models can represent a bounded region of space using only finitely many cells, so they can be manipulated directly. Unlike Z n , they have useful notions of function continuity and region connectedness. Finally, the topology of space is allowed to depend on the situation being represented, accounting for sharp changes in function values and lack of connectedness across object boundaries.

Engineering Analysis with Uncertainties and Complexities, Using Reasoning Approaches
Conventional computation methods generally limit practicing engineers from using complex formulations or considering uncertainties in general. A method is needed that can be implemented regardless of the uncertainty or linearity of the design parameters and their constraints. Methods such as qualitative reasoning provide an effective and sound technique for solving complex and uncertain scenari...
متن کاملRepresenting Spectral data using LabPQR color space in comparison to PCA method
In many applications of color technology such as spectral color reproduction it is of interest to represent the spectral data with lower dimensions than spectral space’s dimensions. It is more than half of a century that Principal Component Analysis PCA method has been applied to find the number of independent basis vectors of spectral dataset and representing spectral reflectance with lower di...
متن کاملStatistically Testing Uncertain Geometric Relations
This paper integrates statistical reasoning and Grassmann-Cayley algebra for making 2D and 3D geometric reasoning practical. The multi-linearity of the forms allows rigorous error propagation and statistical testing of geometric relations. This is achieved by representing all objects in homogeneous coordinates and expressing all relations using standard matrix calculus. 1 Motivation Many Comput...
متن کاملEmpirically Evaluating Three Proposals for Representing Changes in OWL2
In almost all domains in practice, it is fundamental to properly represent entities amenable to changes. For instance, in business analytics, we must be able to reason with large amounts of time-changing KPI (key performance indicators) data. For this reason, general-purpose practical knowledge representation frameworks must be able to support the representation of temporally changing informati...
متن کاملRepresenting and Reasoning over Spatial Relations in OWL: A Rule-Based Approach
Representing spatial information for Semantic Web applications often involves missing or imprecise information. For example the exact coordinates of the boundaries of two regions may be unknown, but it may be known that these regions overlap. This fact can be expressed using qualitative terms such as “Overlapping”. Embedding such information into ontologies and Linked Data is an important pract...
