Dual Forgetting Operators in the Context of Weakest Sufficient and Strongest Necessary Conditions
Forgetting is an important concept in knowledge representation and automated reasoning with widespread applications across a number of disciplines. A standard forgetting operator, characterized in...
Techniques for Measuring the Inferential Strength of Forgetting Policies
The technique of forgetting in knowledge representation has been shown to be a powerful and useful knowledge engineering tool with widespread application. Yet, very little research has been done...
Hastily Formed Knowledge Networks and Distributed Situation Awareness for Collaborative Robotics
In the context of collaborative robotics, distributed situation awareness is essential for supporting collective intelligence in teams of robots and human agents where it can be used for both...
Polygon Area Decomposition Using a Compactness Metric
In this paper, we consider the problem of partitioning a polygon into a set of connected disjoint sub-polygons, each of which covers an area of a specific size. The work is motivated by terrain...
Real-Time Robotic Search using Hierarchical Spatial Point Processes
Aerial robots hold great potential for aiding Search and Rescue (SAR) efforts over large areas. Traditional approaches typically searches an area exhaustively, thereby ignoring that the density of...
