This paper objects to the arising problems due to tting graphical chain models to multidimensional data sets This multivariate statistical tool is used to cope with complex research questions concerning not only direct but also indirect associations between the variables of interest Due to this high complexity sensi ble strategies for tting such models are required Here a data driven selection ...

The development of flexible, responsive and adaptive systems has long been the goal when deploying automated systems operating in complex and dynamic domains. The Sensible Agent architecture is proposed with these goals in mind. Capable of dynamically adapting their level of autonomy, these Sensible Agents perceive, process and respond based on an understanding of both their own goals and syste...

This paper describes a meta-model, MAM, supporting both behavioral and declarative knowledge representation in a Sensible Agent. The paper also provides an example in the air defense domain.

Sensible Agents have been engineered to solve distributed problems in complex, uncertain, and dynamic domains. Each Sensible Agent is composed of four modules (the Action Planner, Perspective Modeler, Conflict Resolution Advisor, and Autonomy Reasoner). These modules endow Sensible Agents with the ability to plan, model, resolve individual conflicts, and change agent system organization. Two co...

because of its very dynamic nature and its close ties with global commerce, intellectual property law is one of the liveliest areas of law. the significant of this branch of law is manifested in the debate which is going on between developed and developing countries in terms of the scope of the protection of intellectual property rights. on the one hand, the developed country argue the stronger...

this paper examines the relationship between environmental law and intellectual property law in light of international documents and procedures. the key question raised here is the role of intellectual property law in conservation of global environment. in this regard, we can express two general approaches: the neutral theory of intellectual property right and the systemic theory of intellectua...
