Resource management services for a Grid analysis environment (2008)

Arshad Ali, Ashiq Anjum, Tahir Azim, Julian Bunn, Atif Mehmood, Richard Mcclatchey, ...

Selecting optimal resources for submitting jobs on a computational Grid or accessing data from a data grid is one of the most important tasks of any Grid middleware. Most modern Grid software today...

Modelling language development and evolution with the benefit of hindsight (2008)

Frank Van, Der Velde

A description is given of a ‘back-tracking ’ approach that could be used to model neural language development and language evolution. This approach aims to develop a neural model of human...

issue of Cognitive Systems Research The Emergence of Distributed Cognition: a conceptual framework (2008)

Francis Heylighen, Margeret Heath, Frank Van

ABSTRACT: We propose a first step in the development of an integrated theory of the emergence of distributed cognition/extended mind. Distributed cognition is seen as the confluence of collective...

Real-time Simulation of Thin Paint Media (2008)

Tom Van Laerhoven, Frank Van, Reeth Limburgs, Expertise Centre, Digital Media

F.: Debugging incoherent terminologies (2008)

Stefan Schlobach, Zhisheng Huang, Ronald Cornet, Frank Van

Abstract. In this paper we study the diagnosis and repair of incoherent terminologies. We define a number of new non-standard reasoning services to explain incoherence through pinpointing, and we...

Synchrony in the Eye of the Beholder: An Analysis of the role of Neural Synchronization in Cognitive Processes (2007)

Frank Van, Der Velde, Marc De Kamps

Abstract. We discuss the role of synchrony of activation in higher-level cognitive processes. In particular, we analyze the question of whether synchrony of activation provides a mechanism for...

Bibster - a semantics-based bibliographic peer-to-peer system (2004)

Peter Haase, Björn Schnizler, Jeen Broekstra, Marc Ehrig, Frank Van, Maarten Menken, ...

Abstract. This paper describes Bibster, a Peer-to-Peer system for exchanging bibliographic metadata among researchers. We show how Bibster exploits ontologies in data-representation, query...

Efficient rendering of local subsurface scattering (2003)

Tom Mertens, Jan Kautz, Frank Van

A novel approach is presented to efficiently render local subsurface scattering effects. We introduce an importance sampling scheme for a practical subsurface scattering model. It leads to a simple...

Gaag. Pre-processing for triangulation of probabilistic networks (2001)

Frank Van, Den Eijkhof, Linda C. Van, Der Gaag, Hans L. Bodlaender, ...

The currently most e#cient algorithm for inference with a probabilistic network builds upon a triangulation of a network's graph. In this paper, we show that pre-processing can help in finding...

Constraint-Based Lexica (1999)

Gosse Bouma, Frank Van, Frank Van Eynde, Dan Flickinger

this paper we have reviewed the situation in HPSG, where inheritance and lexical rules have been used to capture such generalizations.

Characterising Approximate Problem-Solving By Partially Fulfilled Pre- and Postconditions (1998)

Frank Van, Frank Van Harmelen, Annette Ten Teije

. In Software Engineering, the functionality of a program is traditionally characterised by pre- and postconditions: if the preconditions are fulfilled then the postconditions are guaranteed to hold,...

Using Domain Knowledge to Select Solutions in Abductive Diagnosis (1994)

Frank Van, Frank Van Harmelen, Annette Ten Teije

. This paper presents a novel extension to abductive reasoning in causal nets, namely the use of domain knowledge to select among alternative diagnoses. We describe how preferences among multiple...

Models of interaction as a grounding for peer to peer knowledge sharing (1993)

Frank Van, Ronny Siebes, David Robertson, David Robertson, Adam Barker, ...

Abstract. Most current attempts to achieve reliable knowledge sharing on a large scale have relied on pre-engineering of content and supply services. This, like traditional knowledge engineering,...
