Belief merging aims at combining several pieces of (possibly inconsistent) information coming from different sources. The goal is to produce a single consistent set of information, trying to keep the most of the information of the sources. A belief merging operator is the responsible for making the belief merging. With this tool you can compare the ΔΣ, ΔGMax and the Δps (PS-Merge) operators.

Belief revision is a central topic in knowledge representation and reasoning. It consists in incorporating a new belief, changing as few as possible of the original beliefs while preserving consistency. Revision always considers new evidence as a better belief. Such new evidence is usually represented in the form of a propositional formula which must be preserved after the revision. Here, the Δps (PS-Merge) belief merging operator is extended in order to consider constraints, and this extension is used as a strategy for belief revision. The new evidence is treated as a constraint so the extended merging operator can obtain the revised belief base.

This will become a suite of modules which can be useful for the application of certain formulas in Belgian Labor Law : Schaal Claeys, Schaal Walckiers... Will become GUI based. Programmed in IBasic.

BizGEO is an open source platform developed to provide a simple interface for geographical data collection and data storage. BizGEO is integrated with a standard open source map server (GeoServer) to form an integrated GIS data collection suite. BizGEO is made up of three main components; BizGEOServer which is a facility for managing data by organising them in projects; BizGEOApp, a mobile app which is being used by the field users to collect data through set of defined forms, and GeoServer which manages and publishes the data using open standards.

The cognitive flexibility (CF) puzzle is a task designed to measure people’s ability to effectively switch between different mental rule sets. The task is based off of existing measures of CF, the Trail Making Task and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task and has been previously validated. The application provided here allows researchers to create and administer multiple experiments. Response times and errors are exported to text files for analysis. Two versions are available for download, one with randomized presentation order (CF Puzzle-rand) and one with fixed presentation order (CF Puzzle-!rand). The CF puzzle was developed by Dr. Robert Youmans and Christian Gonzalez and programmed in AdobeⓇ FlashⓇ by Dustin Rhodes. See below for more information: Gonzalez, Figueroa, Bellows, Rhodes & Youmans (2013). A new behavioral measure of cognitive flexibility. Proceedings from 15th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction. Las Vegas, Nevada.

Currently, this platform can collect participants' personal information, as well as speech data from two designed task, Stroop test in Chinese and English and Reading span task in Chinese and English. However, it could be easily extended to other language by only editing XML configurations. Please setup your microphone first before using this platform.

Cantillizer performs distributional analysis of Hebrew Bible cantillation marks. The DB provides statistics showing the structure of the signs. Cantillizer supports two interpretations of cantillation marks, syntactic or semantic theory and music theory.

Digital framework for social scientists willing to build, compare, and exchange qualitative analyses of textual materials.

The primary driver of speciation may result from hybridization instead of the accumulation of mutations. The accumulation of mutations may instead be responsible for a "maturation" which may have real physical meaning rather than being an amorphous concept. Scientists such as Donald Williamson and Lynn Margulis have suggested similar ideas but perhaps not going as far as this project assumes. This software converted the Catalogue of Life, catalogueoflife.org, into a gedcom format. It no longer works due to the Catalogue's database format change. This present project extends the gedcom format for use in systematics or species categorization. All named taxonomic levels are assumed to have originally been individual species and the software/database outputs all species as female until hybridization events can be added manually. This tool is used to develop the data at http://genealogyoflife.com. It converted the data from 1.2 million species to over 2 million gedcom females.

The Christmas Gift Registry is a web based system that allows users to view and maintain their Gift List. Users can add, delete & update their own list as well as add, view & claim gifts for other users. The system also does random name draws among users

This is a simple utility to track the amount of time a PC is used. It can the used to determine 1. whether PCs are being used optimally, e.g. internet cafe's. 2. productivity (similar to punchcards). 3. sleep/wake cycles or bipolar cycles.
