This paper describes how meta-cognitive processes may be captured within a cognitive architecture Clarion. Existing cognitive architectures often lack built-in metacognitive mechanisms. However, meta-cognitive processes are important, in that they are an essential part of cognition and without them, cognition may not function properly. We contend that meta-cognitive mechanisms should be an inte...

In this brief note, I explore the cognitive mechanisms involved in interpreting the meanings of events, as conveyed through language. Specifically, I examine the notion of event simulation in the construction of linguistic meaning. Simulations are a special class of minimal models, generated from linguistic input, under a number of agentoriented cognitive constraints. An integral part of this m...

In this paper, we present a polling scheme which allows for augmenting the support of voice communications in point co-ordination function (PCF) of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. In this scheme, the Access Point (AP) of the Basic Service Set (BSS) maintains two polling lists, i.e. the talking list and the silence list. Based on the talking status of the stations identified via silence detection...

This paper introduces a unified model, which can accommodate both a continuoustime Itô process used to model high-frequency stock prices and a GARCH process employed to model low-frequency stock prices, by embedding a discrete-time GARCH volatility in its continuous-time instantaneous volatility. This model is called a unified GARCH-Itô model. We adopt realized volatility estimators based on hi...

anti-lock braking system (abs) is a nonlinear and time varying system including uncertainty, so it cannot be controlled by classic methods. intelligent methods such as fuzzy controller are used in this area extensively; however traditional fuzzy controller using simple type-1 fuzzy sets may not be robust enough to overcome uncertainties. for this reason an interval type-2 fuzzy controller is de...

There are several theorical results about order statistics and copulas in the literature that have  been mentioned also by Nelsen cite{p20}. The present study after reviewing some of these results, relies on  simulation technique to investigate the mentioned results about order statistics and copulas. The study concentrates on two well known Archimedean Gumbel and Frank families in the case tha...

In this paper, a new stratification of mappings, which is  called $Psi$-simulation functions, is introduced  to enhance the study of the Suzuki type weak-contractions. Some well-known results in weak-contractions fixed point theory are generalized by our researches. The methods have been appeared in proving the main results are new and different from the usual methods. Some suitable examples ar...
