We summarized the status of wolves (Canis lupus), elk (Cervis elaphus), and woody browse conditions during the 20th century for the upper Gallatin elk winter range in southwestern Montana, USA. During this period, wolves were present until about the mid-1920s, absent for seven decades, and then returned to the basin in 1996. A chronosequence of photographs, historical reports, and studies indic...

We present an architectural style for selforganizing software systems, which leverages a catalog of design patterns for self-organization. The catalog, which represent our prior work, defines a number of bio-inspired selforganization mechanism as design patterns, and shows how more abstract and complex forms of self-organization can be composed from simpler, lower-level mechanisms. We now discu...

We investigate enhancements to fast neural style transfer networks by including a perceptual loss term for a pre-set ”object” image (henceforth referred to as ”object loss”), in addition to the existing methods of using perceptual style losses and perceptual content losses. We find that optimizing the transfer network for object loss alone (without style loss) does not produce satisfactory resu...

Working style is a concept not fully taken into account especially when the unfolding of a business process is supported by Processaware Information Systems. In this paper we present a practical approach to define and identify working style. The identification is done by searching for some patterns representing critical common features which define a working style. A prototype is presented as a...
