After stroke ≈75% of surviving patients will have problems in mobility, fatigue, emotion, and cognition, measured ≤5 years post stroke. Many patients with stroke will also experience reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Known predictors of HRQoL are functional constraints, age, sex, socioeconomic status, depression, and coping strategy. Patients with stroke use insufficient active, p...

An object-oriented database model can support features such as abstract data types, methods , encapsulation, subtyping (or inheritance), complex structures, and object identity. The processing of queries in such a model also entails support for these features. Query optimization will require new techniques for supporting the object-oriented features. Although many of the problems that must be s...

An object-oriented knowledge-based system developed on a new knowledge representation paradigm is presented. The high-level architecture includes a problem-solving engine, a user interface, and tools. The low-level architecture is described by more than fifty different kinds of objects that are implemented in the system as Smalltalk classes. A problem-solving engine implements a knowledge sourc...

The task of Business Engineering (BE) would be effective if provided with tools that support the analysis and understanding of a business system. This study aims at 1) empirically investigating the cognitive processes of analyzing multiple models of the object-oriented methodology, 2) identifying the problem solving strategy for understanding a business system, and 3) proposing a modeling forma...

Much research and education in control systems is purely mathematical, but computational advances in stochastic control problem solving can be used beyond the limits of theoretical mathematics. Theoretical and computational mathematics are complementary. Computation is important where the problem is mathematically intractable, highly dimensional as in stochastic dynamic programming or urgently ...
