Design of a Participatory Decision Making Agent Architecture Based on Argumentation and Influence Function – Application to a Serious Game about Biodiversity Conservation

Alessandro Sordoni, Jean-Pierre Briot, Isabelle Alvarez, Eurico Vasconcelos, Marta de Azevedo Irving, Gustavo Melo (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

This paper addresses an ongoing experience in the design of an artificial agent taking decisions and combining them with the decisions taken by human agents. The context is a serious game research project, aimed at computer-based support for participatory management of protected areas (and more specifically national parks) in order to promote biodiversity conservation and social inclusion. Its objective is to help various stakeholders (e.g., environmentalist, tourism operator) to collectively understand...

Distributed objects for parallel numerical applications

Francoise Baude, Denis Caromel, David Sagnol (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The C++// language (pronounced C++ parallel) was designed and implemented with the aim of importing reusability into parallel and concurrent programming, in the framework of a mimd model. From a reduced set of rather simple primitives, comprehensive and versatile libraries are defined. In the absence of any syntactical extension, the C++// user writes standard C++ code. The libraries are themselves extensible by the final users, making C++// an open system. Two specific techniques to improve performances...

Domain-Free λµ-Calculus

Ken-Etsu Fujita (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

We introduce a domain-free λµ-calculus of call-by-value as a short-hand for the second order Church-style. Our motivation comes from the observation that in Curry-style polymorphic calculi, control operators such as callcc-operators cannot, in general, handle correctly the terms placed on the control operator's left, so that the Curry-style system can fail to prove the subject reduction property. Following the continuation semantics, we also discuss the notion of values in classical system,...

Dynamic overloading with copy semantics in object-oriented languages: a formal account

Lorenzo Bettini, Sara Capecchi, Betti Venneri (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Mainstream object-oriented languages often fail to provide complete powerful features altogether, such as, multiple inheritance, dynamic overloading and copy semantics of inheritance. In this paper we present a core object-oriented imperative language that integrates all these features in a formal framework. We define a static type system and a translation of the language into the meta-language λ_object,, in order to account for semantic issues and prove type safety of our proposal.

Efficiency of automata in semi-commutation verification techniques

Gérard Cécé, Pierre-Cyrille Héam, Yann Mainier (2008)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Computing the image of a regular language by the transitive closure of a relation is a central question in regular model checking. In a recent paper Bouajjani et al. [IEEE Comput. Soc. (2001) 399–408] proved that the class of regular languages L – called APC – of the form j L 0 ...

Computing the image of a regular language by the transitive closure of a relation is a central question in regular model checking. In a recent paper Bouajjani et al. [IEEE Comput. Soc. (2001) 399–408] proved that the class of regular languages L – called APC – of the form UjL0,jL1,jL2,j...Lkj,j, where the union is finite and each Li,j is either a single symbol or a language of the form B* with B a subset of the alphabet, is closed under all semi-commutation relations R. Moreover a recursive...
