Since the start of the 2002 academic year, the Department of Sciences of Education of the University of Lyon2, in partnership with the University of Rouen and the CNED (Centre National d'Enseignement à Distance ) of Poitiers (France), has put forward a pedagogical plan of action allowing students to prepare a B.SC degree in Sciences of Education. The goal of this article is the presentation of ...

T his Perspective is the second in a series in which the authors argue for practical steps aimed at reducing the fighting in Syria to provide more time for a national transition process. The ultimate goal of that process is an inclusive, unified, democratic Syria. As the international community continues to search for ways to resolve Syria’s civil war, this Perspective argues that decentralizat...

In this paper we explore the use of case-based plan recognition to predict a player’s actions in a computer game. The game we work with is the classic Space Invaders game and we show that case-based plan recognition can produce good prediction accuracy in real-time, working with a fairly simple game representation. Our evaluation suggests that a personalized plan library will produce better pre...

We address the problems of determining consistency and of nding a solution for sets of 3-point relations expressing exclusion of a point from an interval, and for sets of 4-point relations expressing interval dis-jointness. Availability of these relations is an important requirement for dealing with the sorts of temporal constraints encountered in many AI applications such as plan reasoning. We...

Pilot actions for introducing ICT-based innovation in school education generally involve a multitude of elements and a range of different actors. Accounting for and grasping this complexity calls for systematic pedagogical planning efforts that provide a solid basis for accommodating the different perspectives, for analysing the factors at play and also for casting light on the initial assumpti...

The ability of recognizing a multi-agent plan a plan which has been generated for multiple executing agents implies the skill of recognizing the plan underlying a collective activity in which a group of agents is involved. Multi-agent plan recognition is a necessary and useful extension of current PR systems in some domains. In this work starting from CHAPLIN (CHart Applied to PLan INference, a...

Previous work 32, 33, 35, 37] discussed inter-agent negotiation protocols. One of the main assumptions there was that the agents' goals remain xed|the agents cannot relax their initial goals, which can be achieved only as a whole and cannot be partially achieved. A goal there was considered a formula that is either satissed or not satissed by a given state. We here present a more general approa...
