The gravitational properties of the only static plane-symmetric vacuum solution of Einstein’s field equations without cosmological term (Taub’s solution, for brevity) are presented: some already known properties (geodesics, weak field limit and pertainment to the Schwarzschild family of spacetimes) are reviewed in a physically much more transparent way, as well as new results about its asymptot...

Detection, prediction and mastery of complex situations are crucial to the competitiveness of networked businesses, the efficiency of internet of services and dynamic distributed infrastructures in manifold domains such as finance/banking, logistics, automotive, telecommunication, e-health and life sciences. Complex Event Processing (CEP) is an enabling technology to achieve actionable, situati...

This paper illustrates advances over existing implementation work performed on DALI, which is a logic prolog-based framework for defining agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) developed at University of L’Aquila since 1999, and publicly available. In previous work, DALI features were already extended in view of cognitive robotic applications and Complex Event Processing. Here, we show how to def...

Two experiments explored the effects of changes in distance and location on the accessibility of event-related information during language comprehension. In Experiment 1, listeners viewed visual scenes depicting a location containing several objects, while they listened to narratives describing an agent either staying in that initial location, or moving to a new one (either close or far away), ...

This paper describes CEP A G E1, an editor for structured documents, designed for ease of use on modern terminals. The design of CEPAGE is the result of work on syntax editors, full-screen editors and advanced software environments. CEP AGE is a universal editor, in which the language description is merely a parameter; its external interface is designed for the children of the video age. Althou...
