This paper introduces the class of reflected number systems. Members of this class have the adjacency property, i.e. representations for consecutive numbers differ in only one digit and the magnitude of this difference is one. It shows that every number system based on a positional weighting scheme has a reflected analogue. It presents procedures to convert a number system to its reflected anal...

Between 1884 and 1936, Rudyard Kipling wrote over 300 short stories, most of which were first published in colonial cosmopolitan periodicals before being reissued short-story collections. This corpus contains a number critically neglected Gothic stories that fall into four groups: belong to the ghost-story tradition; represent encounter through gothic tropes horror uncanny but do not necessaril...

Abstract There is an opportunity to explore synergies between training and decision support in the Tactical Decision Making Under Stress (TADMUS) program. Decision making skill appears to involve a combination of recognitional and metacognitive elements. A model of decision mak...

6 798;:=A@B:DC Graph grammars and graph rewrite systems improved a lot towards practical usability during the last years. Nevertheless, there are still major problems to overcome in order to attract a broad number of software designers and developers to the usage of graph grammars and graph rewrite systems. Two of the main problems are, (1) that current graph grammar notations are too propri...

Previous work in the field of automatic story-generation has largely neglected reader-response as an important aspect of the success of a story. This paper describes an approach to automatic story-generation based on an intuitive model of the cognitive states and processes within the mind of an imagined reader of the story. Generation assumes a privileged access to the responses of the reader, ...

Previous metaphor studies have paid much attention to nominal and predicative metaphors and little attention has been given to adjective metaphors. Although some studies have focused on adjective metaphors, they have only examined how the acceptability of adjective metaphors can be explained by the pairing of adjective modifier’s and head noun’s modalities and little attention has been given to...

This article discusses the difficulties that arose when attempting to specify and design a large scale digital learning environment for Scottish schools. This had a potential user base of about 1 million users and was intended to replace an existing, under-used system. We found that the potential system users were not interested in engaging with the project and that there were immense problems ...

The Virtual Storyteller is a Multi Agent System (MAS) that can generate stories by simulating a virtual world in which Character Agents pursue their goals. The claim is made that the story emerges from the events in the virtual world. The goal of this project has been to make the stories more interesting. This thesis describes how to extend the Virtual Storyteller with a Plot Agent that will di...

Graph grammars and graph grammar based systems improved a lot towards practical usability during the last years. Nevertheless, there are still major problems to overcome in order to attract a broad number of software designers and developers to the usage of graph grammars. Two of the main problems are, (1) that current graph grammar notations are too proprietary and (2) that there exists no sea...
