Two basic approaches to explaining the nature of the mind are the rational and the mechanistic approaches. Rational analyses attempt to characterize the environment and the behavioral outcomes that humans seek to optimize, whereas mechanistic models attempt to simulate human behavior using processes and representations analogous to those used by humans. We compared these approaches with regard ...

Reinforcement learning is a kind of machine learning. Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) is a representative class of non-Markovian environments in reinforcemnet learning. We know the Rational Policy Making algorithm (RPM) to learn a deterministic rational policy in POMDPs. Though RPM can learn a policy very quickly, it needs numerous trials to improve the policy. Furthermore ...

Rational use of antibiotics has become an important issue in medical practice and health care. Clinical guidelines are one of the most useful knowledge resources for rational use of antibiotics. As the monitoring of rational use of antibiotics involves complex knowledge of guidelines analysis and management process, traditional way of human intervention is not sufficient to monitor rational use...

Context You specify a software system with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) [3] and use some of UML-compatible software development method such as the Rational Unified Process [4], Catalysis [5] and Fusion [1]. During the software development process, you identify certain specifications concerning the software product. This information could be very general, such as the vision of the product...

Accordingly, the standards are not tied back to the The application-to-application exchange of business data, known as electronic data interchange (EDI), has not fulfilled the expected potential. The focus for the development of EDI standards should be shifted from the interchange file to the information contained within the business process. The use of object oriented techniques to model the s...

The extraction is the process of removing or obtaining something from something else; whether with force or difficulty, or chemically. It is a one of separation technique used in most science researches. In our research focusing, extraction process is the process of converting captured notation information into data. Our proposed approach for notation extraction will play an important role in a...

In this paper, a proposal of a generic model for process-oriented software development organizations is presented. Additionally, the respective way of managing the process model, and the instantiation of their processes with RUP (Rational Unified Process) workflows, whenever they are available, or with other kind of processes is suggested. The proposals made in this paper were consolidated base...

Despite the fact that object oriented paradigm is actually widely adopted for software analysis, design, and implementation, there are still a large number of companies that continue to utilize the structured approach to develop software analysis and design. The fact is that the current worldwide agreement for object orientation is not supported by enough empirical evidence on advantages and di...

This paper presents a rational Haar wavelet operational method for solving the inverse Laplace transform problem and improves inherent errors from irrational Haar wavelet. The approach is thus straightforward, rather simple and suitable for computer programming. We define that $P$ is the operational matrix for integration of the orthogonal Haar wavelet. Simultaneously, simplify the formulaes of...
