The account includes de nitions of one action being a way of doing another, and of performing one action by performing another. Although this account is intended to form part of a theory of intelligent action, including the deliberate and intentional actions of human agents or of autonomous robots, in this paper we abstract from the information processing and cognitive factors involved in such actions.

On the other hand, requests for articles in domestic journals, mostly written in Japanese, continued to increase until 2006. The main factor for this increase was the expansion of journal title coverage in bibliographic databases, which enabled users to retrieve more references. However, requests decreased in 2007...

Lots of Intentional/informational discourse structure theories rely on a single point of view of the structure, which is either the point of view of the writer, for monologue, or the assumed common point of view of dialogue participants. A problem for these theories is that at a low level, it is very clear that dialogue participants have very di#erent points of view about what is happening. The hope is that these di#erences (at least about what is being said and meant) will occur within CGUs, and by the time of achieving complete CGUs, a single point of view could be assumed, and one could then look at how this established content could be combined into a single intentional/informational structure. 76 4.

The project has started in May, 1996, focussed on Japanese dialogues. Four subgroups have worked and devised annotation schemes by examining various kinds of task-oriented dialogues annotated with the classifications for utterance units, discourse structure and discourse markers and speech related ...

Created by scholars and scientists from cognitive science, computer science, AI, linguistics, logic, philosophy, and mathematics, the theory is forging a common set of tools for the analysis of phenomena from all these fields. This volume presents work that evolved out of the Second Conference on Situation Theory and its Applications. Twenty-six essays exhibit the wide range of the theory, covering such topics as natural language semantics, philosophical issues about information, mathematical aplications, and the visual representation of the information in computer systems. Jon Barwise is a professor of philosophy, mathematics, and logic at indiana university in Bloomington. Jean Mark Gawron is a researcher at SRI International and a consultant at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories. Gordon Plotkin is a professor of theoretical computer science at the University of Edinburgh.
