Drawing lessons from the eFez Project in Morocco, this volume
offers practical supporting material to decision makers in
developing countries on information and communication technologies
for development, specifically e-government implementation.
Artificial Intelligence and cognitive science are the two fields
devoted to the study and development of knowledge-based systems
(KBS). Over the past 25years, researchers have proposed several
approaches for modeling knowledge in KBS, including several kinds
of formalism such as semantic networks, frames, and logics. In the
early 1980s, J.F. Sowa introduced the conceptual graph (CG) theory
which provides a knowledge representation framework consisting of a
form of logic with a graph notationand integrating several features
from semantic net and frame representations. Since that time,
several research teams over the world have been working on the
application and extension of CG theory in various domains ranging
from natural language processing to database modeling and machine
learning. This volume contains selected papers fromthe
international conference on Conceptual Structures held in the city
of Quebec, Canada, August 4-7, 1993. The volume opens with invited
papers by J.F. Sowa, B.R. Gaines, and J. Barwise.
Newly updated and translated into English for the first time, this
standalone handbook perfectly combines background and theory with
real-world experiments. All key topics are covered, including
environmental conditions, wave theories, hydrostatics, and wave and
current loads, with emphasis on nonlinear wave body interaction.
Focus is given to model testing, an important component in the
design of offshore structures. Recent results on the hydrodynamics
of perforated structures, moonpool and gap resonance, and
third-order interaction effects, have been added to this updated
version. Based on practical experience from multiple industry
collaborations, combined with lectures that have been honed and
improved over more than 30 years, the pedagogical, real-world
approach in this book make it an ideal companion for graduate
students and researchers as well as ocean engineers.
