A CLIMATE OF HOPE by Bill Ashcroft

“…However critique has not often led to a clear vision of a possible world. This paper suggests a new alliance – between postcolonial critique, environmentalism and utopianism – one that emerges from the post-colonial realisation the no transformation can occur without the hope inspired by a vision of the future. …”

Resilience for Goal-Based Agents: Formalism, Metrics, and Case Studies by Jennifer Leaf, Julie A. Adams, Matthias Scheutz, Michael A. Goodrich

“…A common property of the resilient algorithms in the case studies is that they have the ability to exploit many possible world trajectories, often at the cost of failing to find optimal trajectories in unperturbed conditions.…”

Statistics of Extremes in Athletics by Lígia Henriques-Rodrigues, M. Ivette Gomes, Dinis Pestana

“…Due to the way data are collected, we begin with a parametric data analysis, but we pay special attention to the semi-parametric estimation of the extreme value index and the right endpoint whenever finite, the possible world record, given the actual conditions. In order to achieve a better decision we consider a few alternative semi-parametric estimators available in the literature, and heuristic rules for the choice of thresholds. …”

An Efficient Approximation of Betweenness Centrality for Uncertain Graphs by Chenxu Wang, Ziyuan Lin

“…However, such a definition is unsuitable for uncertain graphs due to the uncertainty of links. In the possible-world semantics, the Monte Carlo method is proposed to estimate the betweenness centrality of uncertain graphs. …”

Argumentation-Based Query Answering under Uncertainty with Application to Cybersecurity by Mario A. Leiva, Alejandro J. García, Paulo Shakarian, Gerardo I. Simari

“…After discussing the details of its design and implementation, and describing how it can be applied in a CTA use case, we report on the results of an empirical evaluation designed to explore the effectiveness and efficiency of a possible world sampling-based approximate query answering approach that addresses the intractability of exact computations.…”

Boulesic Logic, Deontic Logic and the Structure of a Perfectly Rational Will by Daniel Rönnedal

“…I will develop a set of semantic tableau systems that include boulesic and alethic operators, possibilist quantifiers and the identity predicate; I will then show how these systems can be augmented by a set of deontic operators. I use a kind of possible world semantics to explain the intended meaning of our formal systems. …”

Det hellige og det sublime by Kirsten Hastrup

“…Ritual is compared to theatre, and their relative power in making participants experience a possible world byond the known is discussed. The general point is that ontologically, the sacred is not in the things that represent it, such as texts, rites or chcurches, but in human experience of it. …”

Life is (not) a game: the abysses of image in the film eXistenZ by Maria Irene Aparicio

“…In its own way, cinema has always been a screen of “virtual reality”, another space, perhaps Foucaultian, a “possible world”, which - like the inspiring science fiction of Isaac Asimov (1920-1992), writer and scientist, biochemist, whose stories fascinated me in my childhood and adolescence – helped to install my passion for this limbo of (un)knowledge that forms when art and science intersect. …”

Reliable Route Selection for Wireless Sensor Networks with Connection Failure Uncertainties by Jianhua Lyu, Yiran Ren, Zeeshan Abbas, Baili Zhang

“…The reliable spanning trees are defined as a set of spanning trees with top reliabilities and limited tree weights based on the possible world model. Second, two tree-filtering algorithms are proposed: the k minimum spanning tree (KMST) based tree-filtering algorithm and the depth-first search (DFS) based tree-filtering algorithm. …”
