under the original and abstract definitions of circumscription. These theories have consistent consequences under the feasible commitment predicate circumscription. Both the feasible commitment predicate circumscription and quasiminimality coincide with circumscription based on abstract minimality

of different strategies for reacting to change. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of developing systems for empirical measurement of agent performance that are stable, sensitive, and capable of revealing the effect of "high-level" agent characteristics such as commitment. 1

In this paper we address the question of whether laddering is feasible as an equilibrium phenomenon. In initial public offerings (IPOs), laddering is described as the commitment to and the actual purchase of shares in the aftermarket in addition to what the purchasers would have purchased

-driven stakeholder resource commitment process. In particular, its concurrent activities of Understanding Needs, Envisioning Opportunities, System Scoping and Architecting, Feasibility Evidence Development, and Risk/Opportunity Assessment enable projects to focus specifically on their system constraints

the standard revelation principle is not valid without full commitment, we derive a limited version that nevertheless allows us to characterize the set of incentive feasible contracts. We show that while full revelation is feasible, it is never optimal. The optimal contract is “bang-bang” — in one region

The core of solving security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) problems within the Lagrangian relaxation framework is how to obtain feasible solutions. However, due to the existence of the transmission constraints, it is very difficult to determine if feasible solutions to SCUC problems can

The national e-filing project in Singapore, a country well known for its commitment to the use of information technologies, uses a very different approach
