Cooperative medical diagnosis systems seem to be well suited for the solving of many difficult medical diagnosis problems, like the combinations of illnesses where between the illnesses treatments are dependencies. The solving of many difficult medical problems requires knowledge from different medical domains, which cannot be detained by a single physician or a medical computational system. In...

This paper presents a method for extracting sub.cor.pora documenting different subcategorlzatlon frames for verbs, nouns, and adjectives in the 100 mio. word British National Corpus. The extraction tool consists of a set of batch files for use with the Corpus Query Processor (CQP), which is part of the IMS corpus workbench (cf. Christ 1994a,b). A macroprocessor has been developed that allows th...

Within the multi-disciplinary CARMA (Campylobacter Risk Management and Assessment) project it was decided to focus on evaluation of interventions in the chicken meat chain. To assess the effect of control measures on the farm we developed a model on Campylobacter transmission in Dutch broilers and broiler flocks, resulting in an estimate of the Campylobacter prevalence in broilers for slaughter...

An attempt to use the while macro, [14], was the origin of writing this article. The while semantics, as given by J.-C. Chen, is slightly extended by weakening its correctness conditions and this forced a quite straightforward remake of a number of theorems from [14]. Numerous additional properties of the while macro are then proven. In the last section, we define a macro instruction computing ...

In today’s competitive environment organizations are increasingly moving towards global software development to utilize every possible benefits across geography. Practitioners from different part of the world are undertaking such assignments for multiple benefits like global exposure, new domain/arena to explore, better compensation, etc. In spite of the above benefits these global practitioner...

Retailers, particularly those in the style-goods and fashion apparel industry, are increasingly demanding guaranteed profit margins (GPMs) from their vendors. Under a GPM stipulation, a vendor has to offer a rebate to maintain the retailer’s target margin on the item if the retailer is compelled to take a markdown from the initial price to sell out the ordered quantity for the season. Vendors d...

This thesis presents a technique for online learning and management of macroactions in forward chaining planning. Macro-actions are learnt on plateaux, areas of the search landscape where the heuristic cannot offer good search guidance, and are reused when future plateaux are encountered. Libraries of macro-actions are generated, storing macro-actions for use on future problems. Several strateg...

We summarize the history of macroeconometric system modelling as having produced four generations of models. Over time the principles underlying the model designs have been extended to incorporate eight major features. Because models often evolve in response to external events we are led to ask what has happened to models used in the policy process since the financial crisis on 2008/9. We find ...

The goal of our Macro Lambda Calculus project (MLC) is to encode λ-terms into interaction nets. Its software implementation accepts input in the notation similar to λ-calculus allowing macro definitions. Output is similar to interaction calculus and is suitable for our Interaction Nets Compiler program (INC). In this paper, we describe the interaction system for call-by-need evaluation and the ...
