Reasoning is an integral part of intelligent systems in fields like databases, logic programming, robotics, knowledge engineering, human/computer interfaces, and programming environments. In reality any such system has to cope with a changing world and its dynamics. Hence it is of great importance that reasoning must account for coping with change in order to be truly useful in practice. This text comprises several contributions to current ways of approaching this problem. On the one hand it surveys and synthesizes past research work, while on the other hand new research results are included. Among the topics treated are logics for reasoning about actions and planning, belief revision and the reconciliation of logically conflicting inputs, resolving of conflicts by merging of knowledge and issues in the evolution in object-oriented databases. The book is aimed at the researcher and advanced student active in this field.

Generative AI is transforming the landscape of numerous industries, and the creative fields are no exception. As the figurative arts become a focal point in the ongoing debate, this book explores hybrid and centauric intelligence—an integration of human and artificial intelligence. Through parallel and complementary directions, it investigates the general concept of this hybrid intelligence and its specific application in the artistic realm, highlighting the unprecedented creativity and innovation that can emerge from this synergy. Additionally, it addresses the economic tensions and legal disputes, particularly around copyright, that arise from the impact of new technologies in the creative sector.The result is a comprehensive overview of the hybridization paradigm by analyzing the operational and creative methods of artists and creators who have embraced generative AI. The author examines the implications of the recent developments, offering readers an understanding of how AI can support human creativity rather than replace it. Thus, a compelling vision of the future unfolds, one in which artists and AI collaborate, pushing the boundaries of what is artistically achievable.Whether you are a seasoned professional looking to incorporate AI into your creative process or a curious reader intrigued by the convergence of art and technology, the book will provide valuable insights and inspire you to explore the fascinating intersection of human creativity and artificial intelligence and the future it heralds for the art world.

This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECCOP '94), held in Bologna, Italy in July 1994. ECOOP is the premier European event on object-oriented programming and technology. The 25 full refereed papers presented in the volume were selected from 161 submissions; they are grouped in sessions on class design, concurrency, patterns, declarative programming, implementation, specification, dispatching, and experience. Together with the keynote speech "Beyond Objects" by Luc Steels (Brussels) and the invited paper "Putting Objects to Work" by Norbert A. Streitz (GMD-IPSI, Darmstadt) they offer an exciting perspective on object-oriented programming research and applications.

The value of an organization is given not just by its tangible assets but also by the knowledge embodied in its employees and in its internal and external structures. While explicit knowledge can be shared as information and is easy to handle, this tacit knowledge has been neglected by effectiveness-oriented management techniques but is crucial for both the operational efficiency and the core competencies of an organization. This book provides a survey of the use of information technology for knowledge management, and its chapters present specific research on how technologies such as computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW), workflow, and groupware can support the creation and sharing of knowledge in organizations.
