This paper is presenting a way of integrating conflicting temporal information from multiple information providers. It is shown that uncertain information can arise when the provider integration process through a global query mechanism, requires information not directly presented in the community of information providers. This occurs for two reasons mainly: I) Query selection predicates are dir...

The growing use of telematic ways of communication and of the new developments of Artificial Intelligence, brought along new ways of doing business, now in an electronic format, and requiring a new legal approach. Thus, there is an obvious need for legal changes and adaptations, not only concerning a new approach of traditional legal institutes, but also concerning a need for new developments i...

While several interesting argumentation-based semantics for defeasible logic programs have been proposed, to our best knowledge, none of these approaches is able to fully handle the closure under strict rules in a sufficient manner: they are either not closed, or they use workarounds such as transposition of rules which violates desired directionality of logic programming rules. We propose a no...

Common object models select method implementations based on the class of the receiver. If an object belongs to several classes, more than one implementation is applicable for a method call. We present a conflict resolution strategy to get exactly one implementation per call. This is achieved by adding derived classes with method redefinitions.

Conflict adaptation--a conflict-triggered improvement in the resolution of conflicting stimulus or response representations--has become a widely used probe of cognitive control processes in both healthy and clinical populations. Previous fMRI studies have localized activation foci associated with conflict resolution to dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC). The traditional group analysis approach employed i...
