A swarm algorithm framework (SWAF), realized by agent-based modeling, is presented to solve numerical optimization problems. Each agent is a bare bones cognitive architecture, which learns knowledge by appropriately deploying a set of simple rules in fast and frugal heuristics. Two essential categories of rules, the generate-and-test and the problem-formulation rules, are implemented, and both ...

There exist a great number of business rules engines in the market, each one with its own rules language. As a result, the need of a standard rules definition language is obvious. In this demo paper, the application of a combination of standard business rules languages to develop a business rules management tool, K-Site Rules, is explained. The main goals of this tool are: first, to integrate t...

although the status of women in dramatic literature of resistance has always been criticized by critics and researchers of theatre in our country, there has been no change in the authors’ approach or their policy making. it seems that despite diagnosing the problem researchers and writers feel uncertain in how to tackle the problem and change the conditions. the main reason is the lack of knowl...

The design of an optimal physical database entails an exponential time complexity. This is the main reason which has shifted the attention of researchers to the problem of determining a good physical database design. Two kinds of approaches have been proposed to nd a good physical design, an optimizer and a knowledge based approach. An optimizer based approach is characterized by generating phy...

in the system of international law, individuals enjoy some rights and states are initially obliged to grant of these rights, especially in the field of human rights and humanitarian law. if this obligation is not fulfilled, the responsible state has to compensate the injured individuals based on special rules of treaty laws and general rules of international responsibility, including customary ...

In association rule mining one intractable problem is the huge number of the extracted rules, especially, in the case of level-crossing association rules. In this paper, aiming at the redundancy produced during level-crossing association rules mining, an approach for eliminating level-crossing approximate redundant rules is proposed. In the method, the redundancies are divided combination with ...

Hierarchical Petri nets allow a more abstract view whereas reconfigurable Petri nets model dynamic structural adaptation. In this contribution we present the combination of reconfigurable Petri nets and hierarchical Petri nets yielding an hierarchical structure for reconfigurable Petri nets. Hierarchies are established by substituting transitions by subnets. These subnets are themselves reconfi...
