Event Calculus - Fundamentals and Applications

Fouad Sabry

Summary

What Is Event Calculus

Robert Kowalski and Marek Sergot were the ones who initially developed the event calculus in 1986. It is a logical language for representing events and their effects as well as for thinking about those events and their effects. Murray Shanahan and Rob Miller were the ones responsible for its expansion in the 1990s. The event calculus describes the impacts of actions on fluents in a manner that is comparable to that of other languages for thinking about change. On the other hand, events are not always internal to the system. One is able to express the value of fluents at certain specified time points, as well as the events that take place at those time points, as well as the effects of those events, using the event calculus.

Software Engineering - A Manual...

Phil Gilberts

Software Engineering encompasses a methodical approach to developing and maintaining software systems. It involves several key phases, each crucial to ensuring the success of the project. 
  
During the Requirements Analysis phase, software engineers collaborate with stakeholders to understand and document the system's needs and constraints. This ensures a clear understanding of what the software should accomplish. 
  
In the Design phase, software architects and designers create a detailed blueprint for the system, defining its structure, components, interfaces, and interactions. Design decisions made here lay the groundwork for the implementation phase. 
  
Implementation involves translating the design specifications into executable code using programming languages, frameworks, and libraries. Developers adhere to coding standards and best practices to ensure code quality and maintainability.

Taming Silicon Valley - How We...

Gary Marcus

On balance, will AI help humanity or harm it? AI could revolutionize science, medicine, and technology, and deliver us a world of abundance and better health. Or it could be a disaster, leading to the downfall of democracy, or even our extinction. In Taming Silicon Valley, Gary Marcus, one of the most trusted voices in AI, explains that we still have a choice. And that the decisions we make now about AI will shape our next century. In this powerful manifesto, Marcus explains how Big Tech is taking advantage of us, how AI could make things much worse, and, most importantly, what we can do to safeguard our democracy, our society, and our future. 
 
 
 
Marcus explains the potential—and potential risks—of AI in the clearest possible terms and how Big Tech has effectively captured policymakers. He begins by laying out what is lacking in current AI, what the greatest risks of AI are, and how Big Tech has been playing both the public and the government, before digging into why the US government has thus far been ineffective at reining in Big Tech. He then offers real tools, including eight suggestions for what a coherent AI policy should look like—from data rights to layered AI oversight to meaningful tax reform—and closes with how ordinary citizens can push for what is so desperately needed. Taming Silicon Valley is a must-listen for every concerned citizen.

Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior -...

David Hone

Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
 
 
 
David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
 
 
 
Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.
