Some common systems modelling and simulation approaches for immune problems are Monte Carlo simulations, system dynamics, discrete-event simulation and agent-based simulation. These methods, however, are still not widely adopted in immunology research. In addition, to our knowledge, there is few research on the processes for the development of simulation models for the immune system. Hence, for...

In model-based reflection, an agent contains a model of its own reasoning processes organized via the tasks the agents must accomplish and the knowledge and methods required to accomplish these tasks. Utilizing this self-model, as well as traces of execution, the agent is able to localize failures in its reasoning process and modify its knowledge and reasoning accordingly. We apply this techniq...

7A process selection model has been developed to guide in identifying a suitable process for lean implementation, where 7A denote autonomy, approachability/accessibility, associativity/alignment, assessable, affordability, acceptability and achievability. Model developed was based on literature and was validated by implementing it real time in a case

If you get the printed book in on-line book store, you may also find the same problem. So, you must move store to store and search for the available there. But, it will not happen here. The book that we will offer right here is the soft file concept. This is what make you can easily find and get this model standards guide for community preventive health services by reading this site. We offer y...

Controller adaptation is always a major concern. A controller that meets certain performance design objectives can not be satisfactory unless it can preserve them in the presence of system parameters fluctuation over a wide range of operation conditions. For autonomous robots, a controller that preserves stability and robustness dynamically is especially desirable. This paper presents, therefor...

The isomorphism between rule-based systems and decision trees provides an opportunity to use induction methods associated with decision trees and data mining as the basis for the formation of rules in a cognitive architecture. The EPAM theory of learning, an exemplar decision tree method, provides the core processes for a theory of production formation within the ACT-R architecture which is app...

We will describe a computational model of attention which explains the guidance of spatial attention by feedback within a distributed network. We hypothesize that feedback within the ventral pathway transfers the target template from prefrontal areas into intermediate areas like V4. The oculomotor circuit consisting of FEF, LIP and superior colliculus picks up this distributed activity and prov...

Electronic mentoring (e-mentoring) programs are providing unprecedented opportunities for establishing mentoring relationships. E-mentoring is the merger of mentoring with electronic communications and links mentors with protégés independent of geography or scheduling constraints. Unique qualities of electronic communications, such as the attenuation of status differences and the ease of though...

This paper describes how two runtime analysis algorithms, an existing data race detection algorithm and a new deadlock detection algorithm, have been implemented to analyze Java programs. Runtime analysis is based on the idea of executing the program once, and observing the generated run to extract various kinds of information. This information can then be used to predict whether other di erent...
