The ability of recognizing a multi-agent plan a plan which has been generated for multiple executing agents implies the skill of recognizing the plan underlying a collective activity in which a group of agents is involved. Multi-agent plan recognition is a necessary and useful extension of current PR systems in some domains. In this work starting from CHAPLIN (CHart Applied to PLan INference, a...

This article presents a framework for Plug & Produce that makes it possible to use configurations rather than programming adapt manufacturing system new resources and parts. is solved by defining skills on resources, goals To reach these goals, process plans are defined with sequence of be utilized without specifying specific resources. separate the physical world from plans. When plan requires...

We consider multi-class blocking systems in which jobs require a single processing step. There are groups of servers that can each serve a different subset of all job classes. The assignment of jobs occurs according to some fixed overflow policy. We are interested in the blocking probabilities of each class. This model can be used for call centers, tele-communication and computer networks. An a...

We consider the problem of identifying a team of skilled individuals for collaboration, in the presence of a social network. Each node in the input social network may be an expert in one or more skills such as theory, databases or data mining. The edge weights specify the affinity or collaborative compatibility between respective nodes. Given a project that requires a set of specified number of...

This paper deals with the Multi-Skill Project Scheduling Problem (MSPSP) in case of disruptions. First, the problem is defined, then a way to build a first schedule is introduced and finally the reactive approach used to repare the schedule is presented.

Agility is important for sport performance and potentially injury risk; however, factors affecting this motor skill remain unclear. Here, we evaluated the extent to which lower extremity dexterity (LED) and muscle performance were associated with agility. Fourteen male and 14 female soccer athletes participated. Agility was evaluated using a hopping sequence separately with both limbs and with ...

Multi-core processors are no longer the future of computing-they are the present day reality. A typical mass-produced CPU features multiple processor cores, while a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) may have hundreds or even thousands of cores. With the rise of multi-core architectures has come the need to teach advanced programmers a new and essential skill: how to program massively parallel proc...
