Reactive Rules for Emergency Management

The goal of the following survey on Event-Condition-Action (ECA) Rules is to come to a common understanding and intuition on this topic within EMILI. Thus it does not give an academic overview on Event-Condition-Action Rules which would be valuable for computer scientists only. Instead the survey tries to introduce Event-Condition-Action Rules and their use for emergency management based on real-life examples from the use-cases identified in Deliverable 3.1. In this way we hope to address both, computer scientists and security experts, by showing how the Event-Condition-Action Rule technology can help to solve security issues in emergency management. The survey incorporates information from other work packages, particularly from Deliverable D3.1 and its Annexes, D4.1, D2.1 and D6.2 wherever possible

On the use of multi-dimensional dynamic logic programming to represent societal agents’ viewpoints

This paper explores the applicability of the new paradigm of Multi-dimensional Dynamic Logic Programming to represent an agent’s view of the combination of societal knowledge dynamics. The representation of a dynamic society of agents is the core of MIN ERVA [11], an agent architecture and system designed with the intention of providing a common agent framework based on the unique strengths of Logic Programming, hat allows the combination of several non-monotonic knowledge representation and reasoning mechanisms developed in recent years
