Beyond admissibility: accepting cycles in argumentation with game protocols for cogency criteria

In this paper we extend Dung’s formal approach from admissibility to less demanding extension semantics allowing arguments in cycles of attacks. We present an acceptance criterion leading to the characterization of three semantics called pairwise cogency, weak cogency and cyclic cogency. Particular gametheoretic protocols allow us to identify winning strategies with extensions in different sema...

Analysis of Medical Domain Using CMARM: Confabulation Mapreduce Association Rule Mining Algorithm for Frequent and Rare Itemsets

In Human Life span, disease is a major cause of illness and death in the modern society. There are various factors that are responsible for diseases like work environment, living and working conditions, agriculture and food production, housing, unemployment, individual life style etc. The early diagnosis of any disease that frequently and rarely occurs with the growing age can be helpful in cur...

The Cogency Monitor: An External Interface Architecture for a Distributed Object-Oriented Real-Time Database System

We are developing a distributed database, called BeeHive, which could offer features along different types of requirements: real-time, fault-tolerance, security, and quality-of service for audio and video. Support of these features and potential trade-offs between them could provide a significant improvement in performance and functionality over current distributed database and object managemen...

The Relationship between Qualitative and Quantitative

In the past thirty years or so, the distinction between qualitative and quantitative research has become a key axis in methodological discussions within the human sciences. And there is no doubt that it captures something of importance. However, it is a distinction which is by no means straightforward, either in its meaning or in its significance. Indeed, it often acts as a lightning conductor ...
