In this paper, an adaptive multi-dictionary model for data compression is proposed. Dictionary techniques applied in lossless compression coding can be modeled from the dictionary management point of view which is similar to that of cache memory. The behavior of a compression technique can be described by nine parameters defined in the proposed model, which provides a unified framework to descr...

Interactive Narrative is an approach to interactive entertainment that enables the player to make decisions that directly affect the direction and/or outcome of the narrative experience being delivered by the computer system. One common interactive narrative technique is to use a drama manager to achieve a specific narrative experience. To achieve character believability, autonomous character a...

Whether or not a software system satisfies the anticipated user requirements is ultimately determined by the behaviors of the software. So it is necessary and valuable to research requirements modeling language and technique from the perspective of behavior. This paper presents a lightweight behavior based requirements modeling language BDL with formal syntax and semantics, and a general-purpos...

This study aims to develop and validate a financial management behavior scale. used the approach of measuring instrument modification by applying existing theory into statement that will be as an see condition person's behavior. The researchers basic Dew Xiao (2011) which divides consumption dimension, cash flow savings investment debt dimension. subjects involved in this were 391 people who po...

from the beginning of emerging concept of supply chain, a variety of strategies or paradigms have been developed for supply chain organizations .the most important paradigms are four main paradigms, namely the lean, agile, resilience and green. each of these paradigms has advantages and disadvantages. using the benefits of this paradigms and the plan to eliminate the disadvantages of each parad...

This paper addresses the issue of battery power conservation in wireless personal area networks (WPANs). Specifically, we consider a WPAN, which contains a processor and a disk drive, and develop a collaborative power management technique, which minimizes the total WPAN power consumption. Our approach is based on the theory of rational behavior, which leads to a collaborative architecture where...

In this paper we present IBM Tivoli Monitoring, a systems management application that displays autonomic behavior at run time, and we focus on extending it in order to encompass the design and the deployment phases of the product life cycle. We review the resource model concept, illustrate it with an example, and discuss its role throughout the product life cycle. Then we introduce basic concep...

Reconfiguration of parallel applications has gained traction with the increasing emphasis on energy/performance trade-off. The ability to dynamically change the amount of resources used by an application allows reaction to changes in the environment, in the application behavior or in the user’s requirements. A popular technique consists in changing the number of threads used by the application ...
