Process Interruption Reasoning

چکیده
Biological processes such as Cellular Respiration have an intricate structure that defines the ordering amongst different steps and the participants in each step. A person who understands the process is expected to be able to reason with how the process is affected if one or more steps is interrupted. In this paper, we analyze a family of questions about process interruption, and present reasoning patterns that an automated reasoner can use to answer them. Our reasoning patterns rely on the order of steps of the process and the participants of those steps. We suggest that this approach leads to more intuitive and simpler reasoning than an approach of based on theory of intentions [9,10], or an approach that relies on qualitative simulation [8].

Reasoning about interruption of biological processes
Humans are able to apply abstract reasoning patterns to learned knowledge and principles, and infer correct results. Our work is motivated by the vision of automated asking and answering of questions related to a biology textbook––a capability which requires application of abstract reasoning patterns. For example, biological processes such as cellular respiration have an intricate structure tha...

متن کاملMeWS-IT: A Mental Workload Based System for Interruption Timing
Proactive systems executing in multitasking environments are increasingly interrupting user tasks. To mitigate the negative impact of ill-timed interruptions on task performance and users’ affective state, researchers are exploring systems that reason about when to interrupt. In this paper I present my research on MeWS-IT a system that leverages mental workload to identify opportune moments for...

متن کاملAcquiring a Knowledge Base of Continuous Processes through a Distributed System
This paper presents a new approach to acquire a knowledge base (MKB) of continuous processes through a distributed system. The proposed methodology combines MKB and case-based reasoning (CBR) for adaptive knowledge base creation, maintenance and updating trough the use of an architecture with the following aspects: i) distributed architecture network; ii) real-time operation; iii) advanced visu...
