The approach to algebraic specifications of set theories proposed by Tarski and Givant inspires current research aimed at taking advantage of the purely equational nature of the resulting formulations for enhanced automation of reasoning on aggregates of various kinds: sets, bags, hypersets, etc. The viability of the said approach rests upon the possibility to form ordered pairs and to decompos...

Within Lloyds Banking Group the heritage HBOS Corporate division deals with Corporate loans, and is required to assess these loans for risk in accordance with the Basle Accord regulations. Statistical Risk Rating models are developed by the risk analysts to assess the obligors credit worthiness. It is necessary then to provide the bankers who originated the loan ('Relationship Managers' or RMs)...

Ordered completion is one of the most frequently used calculi in equational theorem proving. The performance of an ordered completion run strongly depends on the reduction order supplied as input. This paper describes how termination tools can replace fixed reduction orders in ordered completion procedures, thus allowing for a novel degree of automation. Our method can be combined with the mult...

The mechanization and automation of combination of logics, expressive ontologies and notions of context are prominent current challenge problems. I propose to approach these challenge topics from the perspective of classical higher-order logic. From this perspective these topics are closely related and a common, uniform solution appears in reach.

Spend your time even for only few minutes to read a book. Reading a book will never reduce and waste your time to be useless. Reading, for some people become a need that is to do every day such as spending time for eating. Now, what about you? Do you like to read a book? Now, we will show you a new book enPDFd software process automation the technology and its adoption that can be a new way to ...

A notion of quantified conditional logics is provided that includes quantification over individual and propositional variables. The former is supported with respect to constant and variable domain semantics. In addition, a sound and complete embedding of this framework in classical higherorder logic is presented. Using prominent examples from the literature it is demonstrated how this embedding...

This article presents a literature review within the area of Human-Automation-Interaction in order to find trends and central factors in recent HAI research. These factors will then be used in order to suggest a cognitive automation strategy for final assembly. Trends within final assembly is towards take individual aspects into account, choose an appropriate level of automation and investigate...

Industrial Research Limited (IRL) has engaged in world leading research in the area of automated beef processing. Two innovative applications of automation are beef belly ripping and beef brisket sawing. The challenges faced in these applications, the methods used to meet them and the results achieved are described.
