The Knowledge Engineering Suite is an ontology production method, based on relationship networks, for knowledge representation inside specific contexts. The production of these ontologies has three basic steps, since catching the client data, knowledge base creation, and information retrieval and…

This paper proposes an original generic hierarchical framework in order to facilitate the modeling stage of complex autonomous robotics mission planning problems with action uncertainties. Such stochastic planning problems can be modeled as Markov Decision Processes [5]. This work is…

Given an instance of an optimization problem together with an optimal solution, we consider the scenario in which this instance is modified locally. In graph problems, e. g., a singular edge might be removed or added, or an edge weight…

Sustainability of natural resources has been an important part of people’s culture since creation. Managing these natural resources, particularly land, has been a major concern for a majority of peoples and governments in Sub-Saharan Africa. Land control and use as…
