Inspired by existing works, in this paper, we propose software architecture for coupling the MAS and DEVS formalism. This architecture is designed to enable the modeling of large quantities of agents. Previous works often associated with an agent to a DEVS model. The complexity of the system increases proportionately with the number of agents. We describe an approach to group a set of agents in...

this study evaluates the lifelikeness layers of boroujerdi’s house in kashan as a case study to analyze the houses of islamic period, especially qajar era. why traditional iranian architecture was considered as sustainable architecture? what are the elements included in the traditional architecture to take the most advantage of the least facilities? what elements does the modern architecture la...

Quantum dot cellular automata (QCA) introduces a pioneer technology in nano scale computer architectures. Employing this technology is one of the solutions to decrease the size of circuits and reducing power dissipation. In this paper, two new optimized FlipFlops with reset input are proposed in quantum dot cellular automata technology. In addition, comparison with related works is performed.Th...

Software development should be changed from a handcraft industry to industrialization like manufacturing to obtain high productivity. In knowledge creating industry of software development, engineers have to concentrate on core works. Peripheral works should be avoided as much as possible. Model driven architecture helps programmers work mainly in analysis and design without considering much ab...

CHAPTER 1 8 In our society, where print is omnipresent and extremely important as a means of communication, possessing sufficient reading skills is crucial for participation. It has been shown that children who engage in more leisure time reading are generally better readers (e. An important reason that determines whether children do or do not engage in leisure time reading is reading enjoyment...

Have you ever felt like you got to know a character in a story, or felt like you could imagine the world she lived in? Have you ever wondered why the books we read seem to come to life in our minds? Studies from laboratories around the world are beginning to unravel this mystery. These studies show that when we read stories, our minds actually act like they are participating in the events in th...

In this paper, a deep convolutional neural network architecture for galaxies classification is presented. The galaxy can be classified based on its features into main three categories Elliptical, Spiral, and Irregular. The proposed deep galaxies architecture consists of 8 layers, and the one main convolutional layer for features extraction with 96 filters, followed by two principles fully conne...

13. The problem of determining all algebraic minimal surfaces was solved analytically by Weierstrass in 1866 (see his collected works, volume 3, pages 39-52). Darboux, in his Théorie générale des surfaces, part 1, No. 221, has shown that such surfaces can always be generated by the translation of an algebraic curve. This shows that the function F(s) used in the formulas of Weierstrass must be a...

Juridical English, judicial opinions written by judges of higher judiciary, is an extremely important genre for legal discourse community. In situations where learners’ first language is other than English, law students and recent law graduates in the profession of law reportedly find it hard to cope with a variety of tasks they are required to perform while reading judicial opinions/cases. The...
