Introduction: Mental arithmetic analysis based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal for monitoring the state of the user’s brain functioning can be helpful for understanding some psychological disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or dyscalculia where the difficulty in learning or understanding the arithmetic exists. Most mental arithmetic recogni...

This article deals with the application of spatial multiple criteria evaluation concepts and methods to support the decision-making process for site selection for waste disposal. The process makes use of a recently developed Spatial Multiple Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) module, integrated into ITC’s existing geographic information system called “ILWIS”. This module supports several compensatory a...

Our work presents a mechanism designed for the selection of the optimal information provider in a multi-agent, heterogeneous and unsupervised monitoring system. The selfadaptation mechanism is based on the insertion of a small set of prepared challenges that are processed together with the real events observed by the system. The evaluation of the system response to these challenges is used to s...
