Abstract FutureBuilt is a voluntary program for ambitious low-carbon construction projects. To incentivize measures that lead to the lowest climate change impact from all aspects of buildings and according national Paris agreement pledges, Zero introduces an ambition level novel calculation methodology net impacts over life building. The tightened time help Norway achieve its goals. A comprehen...

Equinox is an automated reasoning tool for first-order logic. It is also a framework for building highly targeted automated reasoning tools for specific domains. The aim behind Equinox is to obtain an automated reasoning tool with a modular and extensible architecture. SAT modulo theory (SMT) solvers have the same aim. However, the way in which this aim is realized in Equinox is quite different...

The aim of this contribution is to present briefly several views on the components for the intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) and to analyze the concepts behind them. We will briefly analyze the concepts provided by the classical machine learning (ML) approaches and then we discuss the role of the components in distributed environment. Finally we synthesize the converging trends of the ITSs te...

The mobile robot group at MIT has been building robots using the subsumption architecture. This methodology decomposes a control system into a set of loosely coupled task achieving behaviors. In this paper we show how the constraints inherent in this approach naturally lead to a very simple computational design. To demonstrate its effectiveness we have built a new, small, fast robot based on th...

In this paper we first formalize dependence networks that can be automaticaly build to model goalbased relationships among agents. Then, we propose three algorithms to build and check the consistency of a dependence network. We start presenting the elements composing our ontology such as agents, goals, skills, dependencies with the addition of the institutional notions of roles, institutional g...

This paper focuses on the problem of building links from closed to open corpus Web pages in the context of Web-based education. As a possible solution it introduces landmark-based navigation using semantic information space maps an approach that we are currently investigating. The technical part of the paper presents a system Knowledge Sea that implements this approach, describes the mechanism ...
