DOI: 10.1007/s13394-017-0213-7
Abstract: Since the early 70s, there has been recognition that there are specific differences in achievement based on variables, such as gender and socio-economic background, in terms of mathematics performance. However, these differences are not unilateral… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cogsys.2018.06.002
Abstract: Abstract A logical approach to compose qualitative shape descriptors (LogC-QSD) is presented in this paper. Each object shape is described qualitatively by its edges, angles, convexities, and lengths. LogC-QSD describes the shape of composed objects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s147106841800011x
Abstract: Abstract Spatial information is often expressed using qualitative terms such as natural language expressions instead of coordinates; reasoning over such terms has several practical applications, such as bus routes planning. Representing and reasoning on trajectories… read more here.
