Dark Energy and the Preposterous Universe

A brief review is offered of the theoretical background concerning dark energy: what is required by observations, what sort of models are being considered, and how they fit into particle physics and gravitation. Contribution to the SNAP (SuperNova Acceleration Probe) Yellow Book.

Decentralized prognosis of fuzzy discrete-event systems

This paper gives a decentralized approach to the problem of failure prognosis in the framework of fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES). A notion of co-predictability is formalized for decentralized prognosis of FDESs, where several local agents with fuzzy observability rather than crisp observability are used in the prognosis task. An FDES is said to be co-predictable if each faulty event can be...
