چکیده

Software plays a critical role in modern global enterprises, both in manifesting new kinds of value and in increasing productivity. This is true not just in the so-called software sector—the familiar software-intensive firms such as Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, Google, and SAP, as well as Amazon, Yahoo!, and eBay—but also in many other economic sectors including national security, health care, utilities, financial services, communication, and transportation. It is fair to say that software has become the building material of choice for nearly all kinds of complex systems.

Information-Based Agents Model other Agents by Observing their Actions

An ‘information-based’ agent is proposed for competitive multi-issue negotiation, where speculation about an opponent’s motivation necessarily leads to an endless counter-speculation spiral of questionable value. Information-based agents model other agents by observing their behaviour and not by making assumptions concerning their motivations or internal reasoning. The integrity of these agents...

Radial Basis Function Networks for Autonomous Agent Control

While many learning algorithms as well as dynamic growing and pruning techniques are appropriate for most technical applications, they do not work appropriately in the context of autonomous agents. Autonomous agents potentially operate in dynamically changing environments. They receive an endless data stream, which makes it impossible to store a fixed set of training patterns. Therefore, autono...

Spiral length design

On the circular curve, lateral acceleration affects comfort. On the spiral, both lateral acceleration and jerk affect comfort.  The determination of maximum curving speed on the basis of lateral acceleration only is not critical because the lateral acceleration is proportional to the square of speed whereas jerk is proportional to cubic power of speed. The maximum speed on a curve is thus signi...

Conductivity Coefficient Modeling in Degenerate and Non-Degenerate Modes on GNSs

Carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) with tubular structure similar to the open multiwall carbonnanotube have been of hot debate during recent years. Due to its unique property, Graphene Nanoscroll (GNS) have attracted many research groups’ attention and have been used by them. They specially studied on energy storage devices such as batteries and super capacitors. These devices can be schematically...
