Environmental ethicists believe it is immoral for human action to result in the extinction of a species. The US Endangered Species Act of 1973 codifies this belief. This paper describes an ongoing case study involving the development of a DSS model to predict the price of Florida scrub habitat. This habitat is crucial to the survival of the Florida scrub-jay, a bird found only in Florida that i...

This paper is part of a project to match real-world descriptions of instances of objects to models of objects. We use a rich ontology to describe instances and models at multiple levels of detail and multiple levels of abstraction. The models are described using qualitative probabilities. This paper is about the problem of type uncertainty; what if we have a qualitative distribution over the ty...

Optimality Theory (OT) is a formal linguistic model in which grammars consist of a universal set of violable constraints that are ranked in a language-particular hierarchy. Lower-ranked constraints are often forcibly violated in order to improve satisfaction of higher-ranked constraints. The optimal or most harmonic pronunciation of a given word is that output candidate which best fulfills the ...
