Mephisto I towards a formal theory
Dale A. Lambert, Chris Nowak · 2006
Mephisto is a framework that will enable ontologybased high-level information fusion. Within the framework, the name Mephisto can be used to refer to a conceptualisation, an ontology, an agent, a society, a formal theory, and an implementation. A Mephisto conceptualisation assumes that the world can be understood in terms of processes. A Mephisto ontology is a specification of the conceptualisation. A Mephisto agent employs the ontology. A Mephisto theory is a formal theory of processes. A Mephisto implementation implements the theory. A Mephisto theory plays a crucial role within the framework.
