Smart-Solutions for Wildfire Risk Prevention: Bottom-Up Initiatives Meet Top-Down Policies Under EU Green Deal

Neurobiological modeling: squeezing top down to meet bottom up

1 INTRODUCTION A cartoon description of the goals of cognitive science and neuroscience might read respectively " how the mind works " and " how the brain works ". In this caricature, there would seem to be little overlap in the vocabularies employed by each domain. The cartoon cognitive scientist could speak at length about decision-making and short-term memory in a relatively self-consistent ...

Bottom-up, top-down

From Green Norms to Policies - Combining Bottom-Up and Top-Down Approaches

This paper proposes and describes an architecture that enables the identification and spreading of green norms in agent societies and the eventual elevation of green norms into policies. Using a real world case study on duplex printing, this paper demonstrates how norms can be identified and also discusses approaches for spreading norms. Using an agent-based simulation study of the energy conse...

Bottom-Up Beats Top-Down

In PEPA, the calculation of the transitions enabled by a process accounts for a large part of the time for the state space exploration of the underlying Markov chain. Unlike other approaches based on recursion, we present a new technique that is iterative—it traverses the process’ binary tree from the sequential components at the leaves up to the root. Empirical results shows that this algorith...

Top-Down Analysis for Bottom-Up Development

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is the construction of software systems from software components. Software components are independently deployable units of executable code that can be assembled into a system based on their externally visible properties, which are made available to system developers via the components interface specifications. Software components provide a means for ...
