The adaptive neural fuzzy inference system is used to simulate trajectory tracking in aircraft landing operationsmanagement. The advantage of the approach is that by using the linguistic representation ability of fuzzy sets and the learning ability of neural networks, the approximate linguistic representations can be improved or updated as more data become available. This approach is illustrate...

The shift from an information society to a knowledge society require rapid information harvesting, reliable search and instantaneous on demand delivery. Information extraction agents are used to explore and collect data available from Web, in order to effectively exploit such data for business purposes, such as automatic news filtering, advertisement or product searching and price comparing. In...

Artificial photosynthesis is described as the great scientific and moral challenge of our time. We imagine a future where a significant portion of our energy is supplied by such technologies. However, many scientific, engineering and policy challenges must be addressed for this realization. Scientific challenges include the development of effective strategies to couple light absorption, electro...

The use of mind altering drugs has become a major characteristic of American social behavior, and in our complex technological society is is unlikely that man will ever be able to eliminate his desire or need for "artificial paradises" as a means of coping with the stresses of daily existence. Unfortunately, when individuals use drugs, many also tend to abuse them with subsequent disruption of ...

Technological progress has led to powerful computers and communication technologies that penetrate nowadays all areas of science, industry our private lives. As a consequence, these are generating digital traces data amounting big resources. This opens unprecedented opportunities but also challenges toward the analysis, management, interpretation responsible usage such data. In this paper, we d...

Embedding Machine Learning technology into Agent Driven Diagnosis Systems adds a new potential to the realm of Medicine, and in particular to the imagiology one. However, despite all the research done in the last years on the development of methodologies for designing MultiAgent Systems (MAS), there is no methodology suitable for the specification and design of MAS in complex domains where both...
