Many people have experience working in an office or on a shop floor, and along the way they encounter moments of joy, satisfaction, disappointment, or even pain. These emotions are not confined by nationality—they are part of the human condition that nearly everyone faces at some point.This book tells the story of Wang Xiangyang, a director at a Chinese company, during his business trip to Serbia. It follows a series of events involving language barriers, cultural differences, loca...

Knowledge representation is an important task in understanding how humans think and learn. Although many representation models or cognitive models have been proposed, such as expert systems or knowledge graphs, they cannot represent procedural knowledge, i.e., dynamic knowledge, in an efficient way.This book introduces a new knowledge representation model called MDATA (Multi-dimensional Data Association and inTelligent Analysis). By modifying the representation of entities and rela...
