Intention Is Commitment with Expectation
"... Philosophers and scientists interested in Artificial Intelli-gence emphasize the role of intention in rational communica-tion and interaction. The papers on rational agency by Cohen and Levesque are among the first to develop a logical the-ory of intention that accords with a large body of philosoph ..."

of philosoph-ical work, and provide the standard reference on BDI logics. However, Singh shows the theory to have certain logical in-consistencies and permit certain absurd scenarios. We present a modification of the theory that preserves the desirable as-pects of the original while addressing the criticism
Intention Is Commitment with Expectation
"... Modal logics with possible worlds semantics provide a means to describe the rational behavior of agents in terms of mental states, such as beliefs, goals, and intentions. Agent’s beliefs and goals are typically represented in these logics by primitive modal operators. However, the representation of ..."

However, Singh (Singh 1992) shows the theory to have certain logical inconsistencies and permit certain absurd

"... Modal logics with possible worlds semantics can be used to represent mental states such as belief, goal, and intention, allowing one to formally describe the rational behavior of agents. Agent’s beliefs and goals are typically represented in these logics by primitive modal operators. However, the re ..."

Compliance Strategies under Permits for
"... We characterize the trade-offs among firms ’ compliance strategies in a market-based program wherea regulator interested in controlling emissions from a given set of sources auctions off a fixed number of emissions permits. We model a three-stage game in which firms invest in emissions abatement, pa ..."

In both scenarios we find that changing the number of available permits influences abatement to a lesser extent in a dirty industry than in a cleaner one. In addition, abatement levels taper off with increasing industry dirtiness levels. In the presence of competition
The Assessment in Relation to Municipal Permit Conditions
"... The Clean Water Act NPDES permit that regulates municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s) in Ventura County, California will be reissued in 2007. The draft permit includes provisions for requiring the use of low impact development practices (LID) for certain kinds of development and redevelopmen ..."

Products End-of-Life Scenario Modelling Using Linear Algebra
"... There are several options at the end-of-life (EOL) of a product: reuse/part reclamation, remanufacturing, recycling, incineration (with or without energy recovery) or disposal to landfill. Each option has an economic, an environmental and a social impact. The impacts are depicted by indicators that ..."

FINANCIAL ASSURANCE SYSTEM IN THE OIL INDUSTRY: A DECISION MODEL FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL BOND SCENARIO
"... Abstract. In several countries financial assurance requirements are not part of a hypothetical scenario. In fact, this regulatory regime has been adopted to guarantee that sufficient financial resources are available for the closure and/or remediation of an oil field in the event that the owners or ..."

Furthermore before any person engaging in the business of drilling for a producing well or before an operator drills, deepens, or otherwise permanently alters the casing of a

Quantum oracle interrogation: getting all information for almost half the price
- In Proc. of the 39th IEEE FOCS
, 1998
"... Consider a quantum computer in combination with a binary oracle of domain size N. It is shown how N/2 + √ N calls to the oracle are sufficient to guess the whole content of the oracle (being an N bit string) with probability greater than 95%. This contrasts the power of classical computers which wou ..."

A local fairness algorithm for gigabit LANs/MANs with spatial reuse

, 1993
"... Abstract-In this paper, we present an algorithm to provide of the local fairness for ring and bus networks with spatial bandwidth reuse. Spatial bandwidth reuse can significantly increase the effective throughput delivered by the network and is, therefore, desirable to be implemented in high-speed L ..."

We will demonstrate the performance advantage of our local fairness scheme by simulating the system under various traffic scenarios and compare the results
