The architectural discussion of multiplicity moves beyond the preoccupation with architecture as a fixed, conclusive, and eternal entity. collection articles in this issue ARSNET investigates multidimensionality architecture. explorations span from multi-layered meaning temporalities architecture, to dynamic representation spatial operation multiplicities. Through inquiries on multiplicity-driv...

We define a domain specific embedded language in Haskell to describe layered software architectures of editors. By using a typed programming language to describe the architecture, the type correctness of its components is guaranteed by the type checker of the language. Furthermore, because the architecture description of a system is part of the implementation of the system, the implementation w...

In this paper we present an architecture for decision making of software agents that allows the agent to behave autonomously. Our target area is computational agents — encapsulating various neural networks, genetic algorithms, and similar methods — that are expected to solve problems of different nature within an environment of a hybrid computational multi-agent system. The architecture is base...

In this work is presented a general architecture for a multi physical agent network system based on the coordination and the behaviour management. The system is organised in a hierarchical structure where are distinguished the individual agent actions and the collective ones linked to the whole agent network. Individual actions are also organised in a hybrid layered system that take advantages ...

The versatile Ad hoc Networks provides communication among wireless nodes which occurs in the wireless medium. Energy effective routing in MANET [5] is a demanding goal which should be taken under consideration. Moreover, energy effective routing is considered to be the most important design criteria for MANETs because mobile nodes will be powered by batteries with limited capacity. The archite...

This report details the actual concrete architecture of Firefox; specifically the JavaScript interpreter, the XML parser and display backend components. The architecture extracted from the code did not follow the rigid boundaries of the conceptual architecture. After some investigation code modules were grouped together to try and recreate the conceptual layers. This was a difficult task becaus...

Telecom operators are challenged by the increasing user demand for mobility, Quality of Service, and security on one hand, and the constraints imposed by economy and regulatory bodies on the other. Daidalos, an EC funded Integrated Project, addresses the vision of a seamlessly integrated heterogeneous network architecture based on an IPv6 infrastructure. The Daidalos architecture addresses conc...

We describe the use of the Layered Query Language and architecture to acquire statistics for natural language processing applications. We illustrate system’s use on the problem of noun compound bracketing using MEDLINE.

We have constructed a flexible substrate for peer-to-peer communication. In addition to supporting a componentbased layered architecture, this substrate provides a novel modular authorization model and supports explicit monitoring of liveness guarantees.

Layered multicast is a promising technique for broadcasting adaptive-quality TV video to heterogeneous receivers. While several layered multicast approaches have been proposed, prior work has identified several problems including significant and persistent instability in video quality, arbitrary unfairness with other sessions, low access link utilization due to conservative bandwidth allocation...
