As a logical continuation of the former benchmark activity of AER devoted to the VVER reactor physics [1-3], now there is a rather large interest of the Kalinin-3 benchmark recently completed and published by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) [4]. The goals of these exercises were the evaluation of the prediction capability of ad...

This paper presents a dynamic data driven approach of describing driving variability in microscopic traffic simulations for both normal and emergency situations. A four-layer DGIT (Decision, Games, Individual and Transform) framework provides the capability of describing the driving variability among different scenarios, vehicles, time and models. A four-step CCAR (Capture, Calibration, Analysi...

NUMERICAL weather prediction has been operational since 1955 (Thompson, 1961; Fawcett, 1962). However, insufficient data and computing power have precluded a similar capability for the ocean despite the potential for numerous military and civilian applications, e.g.: antisubmarine warfare, tactical planning, optimum-track ship routing, search and rescue, long-range weather and climate predictio...

Cognitive Radio (CR) is a promising technology which deals with using vacant spectrum of licensed frequency band opportunistically. In CR Network, route construction must not affect the transmission of Primary User activity. In CR technology challenge of maintaining optimal routes arises due to PU activity and mobility of spectrum resources i.e. CR users. Maintaining optimal routes in Ad-hoc CR...

Mutual information between the brain state and the external world state represents the 6 amount of information stored in the brain that is associated with the external world. On the other 7 hand, surprise of sensory input indicates the unpredictability of the current input. In other words, 8 this is a measure of prediction capability, and an upper bound of surprise is known as free energy. 9 Ac...
