I discuss formal description techniques (FDTs) as they are applied in practice in software and system engineering. Their quality can be measured by their formality, descriptivenes...
The repetitive behavior of a device or system can be described in two ways: a detailed description of one iteration of the behavior, or a summary description of the behavior over ...
Many potential uses of qualitative physics, such as robot planning and intelligent computer-aided engineering, require integrating physics with actions taken by agents. This paper...
Bayesian networks (BN) are particularly well suited to capturing vague and uncertain knowledge. However, the capture of this knowledge and associated reasoning from human domain e...
