We construct an effective Lagrangian for new strong interactions at the LHC, including as a first step the two lightest triplets of spin-1 resonances. Our parametrization is general enough to allow for previously unstudied spectrum and couplings. Among available frameworks to describe the spin-1 sector, we rely on an extra-dimensional description. Our approach limits the number of parameters ye...

In this chapter a modern approach to e-teaching scenarios at the university level is introduced that focuses on the teacher. This approach covers content-related and communicational components of an e-education scenario. Content creation and delivery via Internet, as well as teacher-learner communication is shown from the point of view of the teacher. The content related part of an eteaching sc...

In most of today’s emergency scenarios information plays a crucial role. Therefore, information has to be constantly collected and shared among all rescue team members and this requires new innovative technologies. In this paper a classification of emergency scenarios is presented, describing their special characteristics and common strategies employed by rescue units to handle them. Based on i...

Synthesis of Petri nets from behavioral descriptions has important applications in the design of systems in different application areas. In this paper we present a survey on the technique of region based synthesis of Petri nets from languages. Each word in a given language specifies one run of the searched Petri net, i.e. represents one observable scenario of the system. We concentrate on recen...

Scenario-based modeling has evolved as an accepted paradigm for developing complex systems of various kinds. Its main purpose is to ensure that a system provides desired behavior to its users. A scenario is generally understood as a behavioral requirement, denoting a course of actions that shall occur in the system. A typical notation of a scenario is a Message Sequence Chart or, more general, ...

Diagnosis of a system consists in providing explanations to a supervisor from a partial observation of the system and a model of possible executions. This paper proposes a partial order diagnosis algorithm that recovers sets of scenarios which correspond to a given observation. The main difficulty is that some actions are unobservable but may still induce some causal ordering among observed eve...

whaling in the Southern Ocean is problematic. " The Japanese are still out catching fairly significant numbers of whales, and not just minkes, though that's what they're meant to be focusing on, " he commented. " If they stuck to their targets, and did their whaling as they say they do when they're at the IWC meetings, then I think they might have a little more support. They'd also need to do t...

Grid technologies that have recently emerged around the world enable the integration of distributed computing resources. These technologies allow creating distributed grid services to hide the complexity of the underlying resource network and forming virtual organizations, which is the central concept of grid computing philosophy. Grid researchers and developers gather together under the auspic...

Scenarios of human activity are widely used in many facets of the design of software systems. This methodological development can be understood in terms of design cognition: Scenarios support and enhance the solution-first strategy, which typical of, and perhaps fundamental to expert problem-solving for “ill-defined” problems like design and planning.

  An optimal desirability function method is proposed to optimize multiple responses in multiple production scenarios, simultaneously. In dynamic environments, changes in production requirements in each condition create different production scenarios. Therefore, in multiple production scenarios like producing in several production lines with different technologies in a factory, various fitted r...
