Extended Abstract This paper offers three candidates for a deterministic, noninterleaving, behaviour model which generalizes Hoare traces to the noninterleaving situation. The three models are all proved equivalent in the rather strong sense of being equivalent as categories. The models are: deterministic labelled event structures, generalized trace languages in which the independence relation ...

This paper proposes a novel problem setting of selectional preference (SP) between a predicate and its arguments, called as context-sensitive SP (CSP). CSP models the narrative consistency between the predicate and preceding contexts of its arguments, in addition to the conventional SP based on semantic types. Furthermore, we present a novel CSP model that extends the neural SP model (Van de Cr...

This paper is concerned with the conceptual foundations of pragmatic reasoning (context-dependent reasoning). A general pragmatic semantics (a semantic analysis which includes a pragmatic parameter) is given for pragmatic reasoning, the logical properties of the various forms of pragmatic reasoning are discussed, as are many examples. The semantic pragmatics (the general study of choosing or in...

Network diversity yields context-dependent benefits that are not yet fully-understood. I elaborate on a recently introduced [1] distinction between tie strength diversity and information source diversity, and explain when, how, and why they matter. The issue whether there are benefits to specialization is the key.

We describe eÆcient output-sensitive algorithms to nd the longest arithmetic progression in a given set of numbers.

This paper seeks to tackle the current confusion about the constituent dimensions of IT Governance (ITG) and inconsistent operationalisation approaches inhibiting advances in research and organisational ITG practice. Through a structured literature review of ranked high-quality publications augmented by a meta-case study with five underlying projects, we find nine distinct dimensions of ITG. Th...

We present an improved version of random projections that takes advantage of marginal norms. Using a maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), marginconstrained random projections can improve estimation accuracy considerably. Theoretical properties of this estimator are analyzed in detail.

Current opinion retrieval techniques do not provide context-dependent relevant results. They use frequency of opinion words in documents or at proximity to query words, such that opinionated documents containing the words are retrieved regardless of their contextual or semantic relevance to the query topic. Thus, opinion retrieved for the qualitative analysis of products, performance measuremen...

In reply to the commentary’s of Nesse (2014), Gendolla (2014), Schweder (2014), Zachar (2014), and Clay-Warner (2014), I repeat the essential features of appraisal theories of the second flavor: They take emotional components (and not specific emotions) as the phenomenon to be explained, and they strive for a multilevel mechanistic explanation that leaves room for complex and dynamical processe...

We overview some perspectives on the concept of servicebased computing, and discuss the motivation of a small set of modeling abstractions for expressing and analyzing service based systems, which have led to the design of the Conversation Calculus. Distinguishing aspects of the Conversation Calculus are the adoption of a very simple, context sensitive, local message-passing communication mecha...
