Strategic planning is expressly significant for company ́s success and competitive advantage making in an increasingly competitive business environment. So management of companies have to provide decision making processes to ensure smooth running of the company. Widely used approach for solving multi criteria decision problems is goal programming. The article is dedicated to the application of m...

PρLog is an experimental extension of logic programming with strategic conditional transformation rules, combining Prolog with ρLog calculus. The rules perform nondeterministic transformations on hedges. Strategies provide a control on rule applications in a declarative way. In this short paper we give an overview on programming with strategies in PρLog and demonstrate how rewriting strategies ...

We discuss a problem arising in the strategic management of IT enterprises: that of replacing some existing services with new services without impairing operations. We formalize the problem by means of a Mathematical Programming formulation of the Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming class and show it can be solved to a satisfactory optimality approximation guarantee by means of existing off-the...

Traversal strategies provide an established means of describing automated software transformations and analyses. When considered as a programming tool, the use of strategies may entail certain programming errors. We are specifically concerned with programming errors that go beyond classic type errors, namely errors that interact intimately with the concept of a strategy: (i) divergence of strat...

It has been disputed whether scalar implicatures (= SIs) arise globally or locally. Basically SIs should be global because they arise by comparing strengths of whole alternative statements. On the other hand, there are a lot of examples in which local SIs are preferable. Linguists like Chierchia (2002) and Fox (2006) even claim that SIs arise by applying an operator to syntactic constituents to...
