The problem of finding a suitable formal approach to describe on-going reasoning process has been open since the very beginning of AI. In this paper we argue that active logic might be a formalism useful in this context. Active logic is first introduced, then we analyze resource limitations that constrain the space of possible practical realisations of such reasoners. Finally some steps towards cr

Electrical machine production is a multi-disciplinary area, comprising traditional mechanical processes such as sheet metal cutting, chemical processes for insulation and electrical for the working principles. In manufacturing, high throughput automation of coilwinding and sheet-cutting is combined with complex assembly, such as slotting the coils, often performed manually, but with increasing int

Comments on Christina Fredengren in her essay Beyond Entanglement on human-animal relations, critical feminist posthumanism and nature/culture

The preliminary results of a survey of ancient Hermione (epichoric Hermion) are presented in this paper. The survey was conducted during three short campaigns over the period 2015–2017, and focused on the urban layout and development of the ancient city. Because the ancient city area more or less coincides with modern Ermioni, the investigation was mainly restricted to the documentation and analys

Solen har lyst konstant på vår värld i fyra och en halv miljard år. Strålarna som värmer vår hud idag har känts av varenda person som någonsin levt. Solens strålar har rört vid dinosaurier, och hälsat på de första varelser som lämnade havens vatten för ett liv på land.Solen har varit vittne till allting som skett här på Jorden. Men den är ingen passiv iakttagare. Solen är vår planets kraftverk, deThe Sun has shone on our world for four and a half billion years. The light that warms our skin today has been felt by every person who has ever lived.It is our nearest star and our planet’s powerhouse, the source of the energy that drives our winds, our weather and all life.The passage of the Sun’s fiery disc across the sky — day by day, month by month — was the only way to keep track of time for

Internet usage is evolving, from the traditional WWW usage (i.e. downloading web pages), to triple-play usage where households may have all their communication services (telephony, data, TV) through their broadband access connection. The challenge is to design IP access networks so that they can deliver services with strict QoS demands such as IPTV at the same time as having capacity for (from the

Diskrimineringslag (2008:567) trädde i kraft den 1 januari 2009. Lagen erbjuder ett bestämt antal avskilda grunder som en missgynnande handling behöver ha samband med för att diskriminering ska kunna anses föreligga. Diskrimineringsgrunderna utgör avskilda kategorier och kan varken kombineras eller adderas. Kategorierna utgörs av kön, könsöverskridande identitet eller uttryck, etnisk tillhörighet,The Discrimination Act (2008:567) entered into force on the 1st of January 2009. The act offers a set number of separate grounds with which a disadvantageous action needs to have a connection for discrimination to be considered present. The grounds for discrimination constitute separate categories and can neither be combined nor added. The categories consist of gender, gender identity or expressio

The need for keeping manufacturing and workplacesin Europe calls for new ideas and concepts for productiverobots with focus on their usefulness for Small andMedium sized Enterprises (SMEs). The activitiesfrom the Robotics Research at LTH, [3], [4], [2], andin particular those related to the SMErobot project[1] comprise efforts in this direction. The SMErobotproject is a recently started four-year-
