In this article we present a generalized dynamic argumentation framework that handles arguments expressed in an abstract language assumed to be some first order logic fragment. Once the formalism is presented, we propose a reification to the description logic ALC…

The objectives of the current survey study targeted the overall questionnaire-based assessment of EHR functions trialed by occupational medicine physicians, the presence of correlations between observed advantages and disadvantages of the trialed EHR as well as the intention or factors…

The work of Marshall McLuhan routinely crosses and problematizes boundaries of all sorts. Thinking about his work in terms of knowledge economies, along with their attendant protocols, circulations, and distributions, offers a way to contextualize the many contradictory claims about…

The knowledge imperfections should be considered when modeling complex problems. A solution is to develop a model that reduces the complexity and another option is to represent the imperfections: uncertainty, vagueness and incompleteness in the knowledge base. This paper proposes…
