This article reviews the major contributions of dynamic systems theory in advancing thinking about development, the empirical insights the theory has generated, and the key challenges for the theory on the horizon. The first section discusses the emergence of dynamic systems theory in developmental science, the core concepts of the theory, and the resonance it has with other approaches that ado...

This work develops a knowledge based system to autonomous navigation using Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM). A new variant of FCM, named Dynamic-Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, (D-FCM) is used to model decision tasks and/or make inference in the robot or mobile navigation. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps is a tool that modeling qualitative structured knowledge way through concepts and causal relationships. The proposed ...

This paper presents an analysis of issues pertaining to the relation between computational emergence and emotion in cognitive agent systems. We consider how a developing computational theory of cognition can be used to monitor and manage interactions with and within complex systems. Goal-based agent systems sometimes need to postpone or abandon important goals in favor of more immediate concern...

Social–Ecological Systems (SES) are complex due to uncertainty related to their nature and their functions. In these systems, decision-making processes and practices of managers are often valueladen and subjective, dominated by their world-views and their own knowledge. People’s knowledge are central in building their adaptive capacity but are seldom taken into account by traditional decision-m...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we study stability of fractional-order nonlinear dynamic systems by means of lyapunov‎ ‎method‎. ‎to examine the obtained results‎, ‎we employe the developed techniques on test examples‎.

The use of different optical-fiber sensors for weighing measurements is Abstract described. By using three different mechanical stressing mechanisms, the operation of the fiber-to-fiber transducer systems are tested and the results are presented. Parameters such as sensitivity, hysteresis, resolution, and dynamic range are measured. A comparison of the results has shown that the sensor system m...

The cognitive load experienced by a person can be used as an index to monitor task performance. Hence, the ability to measure the cognitive load of a person using speech can potentially be very useful, especially in areas such as air traffic control systems. Current research on cognitive load does not provide enough insight into how cognitive load affects the speech spectrum, or the speech prod...

DR-BIP is an extension of the BIP component framework intended for programming reconfigurable systems encompassing various aspects dynamism. It relies on architectural motifs to structure architecture a system and coordinate its reconfiguration at runtime. An motif defines set interacting components that evolve according rules. With DR-BIP, dynamism can be captured as inter-play dynamic changes...

Cognitive Metrics Profiling promises a new approach to minimizing the cognitive workload of interactive systems. By metering high-fidelity computational cognitive models of embodied cognition, Cognitive Metrics Profiles provide a theory-based prediction of the transient changes in workload demanded by dynamic task environments. Although establishing the reliability and validity of this new appr...
