Philosophers have recently argued that traditional discussions of virtue and character presuppose an account of behaviour that experimental psychology has shown to be false. Behaviour does not issue from global traits such as prudence, temperance, courage, or fairness, they claim, but from local traits such as sailing-in-rough-weather-with-friends-courage and office-party-temperance. The data e...

Temporal reasoning has always been a major test case for knowledge representation formalisms. In this paper, we develop an inductive variant of the situation calculus in ID-logic, classical logic extended with Inductive Definitions. This logic has been proposed recently and is an extension of classical logic. It allows for a uniform representation of various forms of definitions, including mono...

1.1 Claims about specific situations (1) Claire has the three of clubs. Barwise & Etchemendy (1987:122), cited by Kratzer (2009): We might imagine, for example, that there are two card games going on, one across town from the other: Max is playing cards with Emily and Sophie, and Claire is playing cards with Dana. Suppose someone watching the former game mistakes Emily for Claire, and claims th...

We examine some issues relating to the hypothesisation of relevant models of a situation when the domain knowledge is primarily probabilistic in nature. Our formalism seeks consistent, minimal, sumciently large, and relevant situation-descriptions when a preference criterion is specified.

Representation systems are presented for the input and output of the first or deep phase of a language generation system. Actions and viewpoints are the key factors in determining what sentence is produced; viewpoints provide a wide range of ways tO discuss actions, their states and the plans they compose. The language generator plays a key role in a two-medium conversational system for a natur...

1 SUMMARY  There were 20 confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease (EVD) reported in the week to 21 June, compared with 24 cases the previous week. Weekly case incidence has stalled at between 20 and 27 cases since the end of May, whilst cases continue to arise from unknown sources of infection, and to be detected only after postmortem testing of community deaths. In Guinea, 12 cases were reporte...

There is an increasing need within the Navy and Marine Corps for building distributed situation-aware applications that are rapidly recon gurable and survivable in the face of attacks and changing mission needs. For the Navy's vision of Network Centric Warfare and the Total Ship Computing Environment to succeed, there is an urgent need for a secure, robust, and survivable network infrastructure...

In a research project investigating information requirements for increasing SA in the attack helicopter dom,ain, we examined issues concerned with the presentations of dynamically changing~ information about a tactical situation. We explored features including an underlying digital map, supplementary unit information, and dynamically updated information about enemy and friendly unit movements. ...

OBJECTIVE We describe a novel concept, situation awareness recovery (SAR), and we identify perceptual and cognitive processes that characterize SAR. BACKGROUND Situation awareness (SA) is typically described in terms of perceiving relevant elements of the environment, comprehending how those elements are integrated into a meaningful whole, and projecting that meaning into the future. Yet SA f...
