This quantity comprises the papers awarded on the moment overseas and - terdisciplinary convention on Modeling and utilizing Context (CONTEXT’99), held in Trento (Italy) from nine to eleven September 1999. CONTEXT’99 is the second one within the CONTEXT sequence. The rst was once held in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 1997. The CONTEXT convention sequence is intended to supply an interdisciplinary - rum the place researchers can trade rules, methodologies, and effects on c- textual content, and is more and more changing into a major reference for each person doing examine on context. this can be testi ed through the bigger variety of examine components which are represented at CONTEXT’99 (in specific, Philosophy and Cognitive Psychology weren't signi cantly current on the rst conference), and by means of the quantity and caliber of submitted papers. Speci cally, we bought 118 papers, generally of fine or very good caliber. between them, 33 (28%) were authorised as complete papers, and 21 as brief papers. we expect it's reasonable to claim that the fifty four papers accumulated during this quantity offer a signi cant photograph of the foreign study on context at present happening. The suggestion of context performs an incredible position in lots of components, either theoretical and utilized, equivalent to Formal common sense, Arti cial Intelligence, Philosophy, Pragm- ics, Computational Linguistics, computing device technology, Cognitive Psychology.

Sample text

Without entering into the details of the proposal, it is intuitively clear that, as long as one endorses the idea that knowledge entails belief, the inference from A to L(A) should be made valid in Stalnaker’s framework. 22 H. Arl´ o Costa other mental acts capable of producing the same epistemic effects. Moreover if we think of asymmetric contexts of communication (the so-called defective contexts) agents are constantly processing messages received from interlocutors and considering whether to input the information and update their own views about what the presupposition set for the current exchange is.

6 Conflict Within and Across Belief Layers Consider the hypothesis B(a, φ, presumed) within a reasoning context R, and hypothesis φ within Ra . Also consider the following related hypotheses: the complement φ of φ within Ra , the hypothesis B(a, φ , presumed), and the complements of the two B hypotheses. ). All six hypotheses can have independent rule-based argumentation supporting them, and we are therefore faced with the problem of there being potential conflict-resolution within Ra between φ and φ , and within R between B(a, φ, presumed) and its complement, and between B(a, φ , presumed) and its complement.

234-5). To be a minimal stable set for A (MSS for A) is a necessary condition for a set of modal sentences to qualify as the set of introspective epistemic commitments associated with A. So a natural application of the ECP in this situation will lead to the construction of a notion of inference such that B follows defeasibly from A whenever B is in all the MSSs for A. 4 To see that the conclusion of cautious monotony fails it is useful to keep in mind that {L(α) → α} has two extensions: one including α and another which does not contain α.
