Conceptual Structures: Applications, Implementation and Theory : 3rd International Conference on Conceptual Structures ICCS '95, Santa Cruz, USA, August 14-18, 1995. Proceedings (Lecture Notes in Computer Science Vol.954) (1995. XIII, 321 p. 23,5 cm)

This book constitutes the proceedings of the Third International Conference on Conceptual Structures, ICCS '95, held in Santa Cruz, California in August 1995.
