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:

Accounting for the temporal dimension in case‐based retrieval: a framework for medical applications
Stefania Montani,Luigi Portinale +1 more
TL;DR: A framework for case representation and retrieval that is able to take into account the temporal dimension, and is meant to be used in any time dependent domain, which is particularly well suited for medical applications is described.

The US commercial-military-political complex and the emergence of international business and management studies
Robert I Westwood,Gavin Jack +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of the historical emergence of international business and management studies (IBMS) within the context of the post-World War II USA, and examine the key conditions for the emergence of IBMS including: the internationalization of the US economy and businesses; the Cold War and perceived expansion of Soviet interests; and finally decolonisation processes around the world.

TRELLIS: An Interactive Tool for Capturing Information Analysis and Decision Making
Yolanda Gil,Varun Ratnakar +1 more
TL;DR: TRELLIS includes a vocabulary and markup language for semantic annotations of decisions and tradeoffs, and allows users to extend this vocabulary with domain specific terms or constructs that are useful to their particular task.

TEMPTING system: A hybrid method of rule and machine learning for temporal relation extraction in patient discharge summaries
Yung-Chun Chang,Hong-Jie Dai,Johnny Chi Yang Wu,Jian Ming Chen,Richard Tzong-Han Tsai,Wen-Lian Hsu +5 more
TL;DR: A hybrid method to identify appropriate temporal links between a pair of entities based on the maximum entropy model is proposed and an integration algorithm is developed to fuse the results of the two approaches.

Rule-based document structure understanding with a fuzzy combination of layout and textual features
Stefan Klink,Thomas Kieninger +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a hybrid and comprehensive approach to document structure analysis that makes use of layout as well as textual features of a given document, which allows an easy adaptation to specific domains with their specific logical objects.

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.
