Businesses may apply concepts of agility as a strategy to take up challenges in the rapidly changing business environment. Agility is defined as “the ability of a sensitive [organization] that exhibits flexibility to accommodate expected or unexpected changes rapidly, following the shortest time span, using economical, simple and quality instruments in a dynamic environment and applying updated...

The paper studies distributed cooperative multi-agent exploration methods in settings where the overall benefit of an opportunity is the minimum of individual findings and the exploration is costly. The primary motivation for the model is the multi-channel cooperative sensing problem which draws from the inter-vehicular cognitive offload paradigm. Here, vehicles try to coordinate an offload cha...

Image computation is the core operation for optimization and formal verification of sequential systems like controllers or protocols. State exploration techniques based on OBDDs use a partitioned representation of the transition relation to keep the OBDD-sizes manageable. This paper presents algorithms for building a hierarchically partitioned transition relation and conjunction scheduling base...

Detecting anomalous behavior can be of critical importance in an industrial application context: While modern production sites feature sophisticated alarm management systems, they mostly react to single events. In the context of process industries and heterogeneous data sources, we model sequential alarm data for anomaly detection and analysis, based on first-order Markov chain models. We outli...

We provide a visualization library and web interface for interactively exploring a parse tree or a forest of parses. The library is not tied to any particular linguistic representation, but provides a generalpurpose API for the interactive exploration of hierarchical linguistic structure. To facilitate rapid understanding of a complex structure, the API offers several important features, includ...

abstract background iron overload is a major problem in patients with major thalassemia. an effective and safe iron chelator protocol with high compliance rate plays an important role in treatment of these patients. this study was done to assess the efficacy and safety of the sequential deferoxamine and deferasirox protocol in major thalassemia patients in khuzestan province, iran. material and...

The computation of the reachable state set is a core task of optimization and formal verification of sequential systems like controllers or protocols. State exploration techniques based on OBDDs use a partitioned representation of the transition relation to keep the OBDD-sizes manageable. This paper presents a new approach that significantly increases the quality of the partitioning of the tran...

Haptic representations offer access to graphical information for blind and visually impaired persons. Haptic perception requires active explorative movements, making haptic perception, in contrast to visual perception, sequential and local. In order to improve the information gain during haptic exploration and to compensate its limitations additional information can be conveyed in the auditory ...

In this Indigenous-grounded, transformative sequential explanatory study, the author examined influence of ethnic-racial identity exploration on school connectedness in a sample (n = 41) Native American youths attending public federally recognized Indian reservation. The students were enrolled cultural immersion program. Participants completed survey packet including demographic form, an adapte...
