Enterprises develop procedures to address focuses in any case. However, procedures result often in sub-optimal solutions for any specific focus. As a consequence, each actor develo...
For decades, researchers in knowledge representation (KR) have argued for and against various choices in KR formalisms, such as Rules, Frames, Semantic nets, and Formal logic. In ...
We aim at an adequate formal description of the dynamics of commitments and trust by transferring insights about actual human practices to a formal setting. Our framework is based ...
The scientific method serves as a good metaphor for several practices in Extreme Programming (XP). We explore the commonalities and differences and show that the scientific method...
The numerical approach to solving geometric constraint problems is indispensable for building a practical CAD system. The most commonly-used numerical method is the Newton
