TLDR
In this article, a formalism for reasoning about actions is proposed that is based on a temporal logic, which allows a much wider range of actions to be described than with previous approaches such as the situation calculus.About:

Temporal data mining for the quality assessment of hemodialysis services
TL;DR: The new methods proposed in the paper are suitable tools for knowledge discovery in clinical time series that use in the context of an auditing system for dialysis management helped clinicians to improve their understanding of the patients' behavior.

Place-Based versus People-Based Accessibility
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that traditional place-based measures of accessibility should be enhanced and complemented with peoplebased measures that are more sensitive to individual activity patterns and accessibility in space and time.

Inducing Temporal Graphs
TL;DR: This work considers the problem of constructing a directed acyclic graph that encodes temporal relations found in a text and achieves 83% F-measure in temporal segmentation and 84% accuracy in inferring temporal relations between two segments.

Self-Monitoring, Locus of Control, and Social Encounters of Chinese and New Zealand Students
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the characteristics of daily encounters as a function of self-monitoring and locus of control in Chinese and European students and found that Chinese students were more external in their selfmonitoring, made fewer daily contacts that were more task oriented, and involved higher levels of selfdisclosure than New Zealand students.

Handbook of Research on User Interface Design and Evaluation for Mobile Technology
TL;DR: The Handbook of Research on User Interface Design and Evaluation provides students, researchers, educators, and practitioners with a compendium of research on the key issues surrounding the design and evaluation of mobile user interfaces, such as the physical environment and social context in which a mobile device is being used and the impact of multitasking behavior typically exhibited by mobile-device users.

Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals
TL;DR: In this paper, an interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together with a computationally effective reasoning algorithm based on constraint propagation, which is notable in offering a delicate balance between time and space.

Speech Acts: An Essay in the Philosophy of Language
TL;DR: A theory of speech acts is proposed in this article. But it is not a theory of language, it is a theory about the structure of illocutionary speech acts and not of language.

Some philosophical problems from the standpoint of artificial intelligence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of reasoning about whether a strategy will achieve a goal in a deterministic world and present a method to construct a sentence of first-order logic which will be true in all models of certain axioms if and only if a certain strategy can achieve a certain goal.
