ITRI-00-14 Imperatives, Commitment and Action: Towards a Constraint-based Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the function of imperatives in dialogue. In particular, the focus is on the use of logically complex imperatives (e.g., ‘Say hello to John, if you meet him’) and temporal reference in imperatives (e.g., ‘Open the bottle of champagne at midnight’). Two specific problems involving logically complex and temporally referring imperatives are introduced. These problems are addressed within a framework for communicating agents. It is argued that such a framework needs to allow for partial models of communicating agents and their environment and for the intentionality of agent states.

متن کاملITRI-01-01 Relating Imperatives to Action
The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the use of logically complex imperatives, in particular, imperatives of the form`Do A1 or A2' and`Do A, if B'. I argue for an analysis of imperatives in terms of Classical Logic which takes into account the innuence of background information on imperatives. I show that by doing so one can avoid some counter-intuitive results which have been ass...
متن کاملA Node-based Mathematical Model towards the Location Routing Problem with Intermediate Replenishment Facilities under Capacity Constraint
In this paper, we study the location routing problem with replenishment facilities (LRPRF), an extension of the location routing problem (LRP) where the vehicles can replenish at some replenishment facilities. Vehicles leave the depot with load on-board, serve customers until out of load, and then either return to a replenishment facility to reload or return to the depot, completing their route...
