In this paper we extend the control methodology based on Extended Markov Tracking (EMT) by providing the control algorithm with capabilities to calibrate and even partially reconstruct the environment’s model. This enables us to resolve the problem of performance deterioration due to model incoherence, a negative problem in all model based control methods. The new algorithm, Ensemble Actions EM...

Ontology matching is the process of generating alignments between ontologies. An alignment is a set of correspondences. Each correspondence links concepts and properties from one ontology to concepts and properties from another ontology. Obviously, alignments are the key component to enable integration of knowledge bases described by different ontologies. For several reasons, alignments contain...

Object-oriented data models are being extended with recursion to gain expressive power. This complicates both the incoherence detection problem which has to deal with recursive classes descriptions and the optimization problem which has to deal with recur-sive queries on complex objects. In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework able to face the above problems. In particular, it is able...

This literature review highlights the tension between cohesiveness and incoherence in operationalizing categories of educational technology professionals. Literature on learning technologists, educational technologists, e-learning technologists, information and communications technology coordinators and information technology coordinators was analyzed through a multilevel model of comparative e...

My goal in this paper is to address what I call the ‘Incoherence’ objection to the growing universe theory of time. At the root of the objection is the thought that one cannot wed objective temporal becoming with the existence of a tenseless past—which is apparently what the growing universe theorist tries to do. To do so, however, is to attribute both dynamic and static aspects to time, and, g...

C often have to evaluate products comprising a combination of attributes that is not expected by them, given their beliefs about how attributes normally co-vary in the product category. Such an attribute combination implies that the claimed level of a product attribute is then different from what the consumer might infer, given the level of another attribute, resulting in what we call product i...
