Sommario/riassunto |

When in October 1996 in Cholula (Puebla, Mexico), I took charge of organizing the scienti?c program of the next Ibero-American Congress on Arti?cial Intel- gence (IBERAMIA 98) I bet on a couple of ideas. First, I adopted the spirit of the Portuguese adventurers to get the Sixth Congress on a truly international track. In order to attain this aim I needed to convince everybody that the Ibero- American AI community had improved over the years and attained a very good level in what concerns individuals. Second, I brought my colleagues beside me so that we were able to collect su?cient excellent papers without destroying the pioneering spirit of those who ?rst inaugurated the Congress. Getting together to ?nd out what is in progress in the vast region in which Latin languages (P- tuguese and Spanish) are spoken, attracting others to exchange ideas with us, and by doing this advancing AI in general, is a risky untertaking. This book is the result, and it sets a new standard to be discussed by all of us. IBERAMIA was established in 1988 (Barcelona) by three Ibero-American AI Associations (AEPIA from Spain, SMIA from Mexico, and APPIA from Por- gal), after a ?rst meeting in Morelia (Mexico) in 1986 of SMIA and AEPIA. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Extractive Industry projects in Peru impact differently on men and women: men secure more of the benefits and women experience more of the risks. This book presents the current reality in Peru, why improving these development outcomes on women is so important to companies and government, and indicates approaches that government, companies, civil society and communities can take to improve the impacts of extractive industry projects on women â?? and through them the development outcome on the wider family and community. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
These essays, written in the spirit of Goethe's Epimetheus who ""traces the quick deed to the dim realm of form-combining possibilities"", display the depth and breadth of Tallis's fascination with our lives. Whether discussing philosophical ""hardy perennials"" like time, or a mundane artefact like ink, Tallis challenges us to think differently about who we are and why we are. The first part of the book - Analysis - dives into the deep-end to explore some of the big questions in philosophy: perception, knowledge and belief; time; the relationship between mathematics and reality; and probabili |
