In this paper the concept of organizational architecture is firstly formalized using the fractal principle and then applied to multi-agent systems’ (MAS) organizations. Objectives: Providing a...

We present an architecture for object recognition based on artiicial neural networks (ANN). The system can be trained on the holis-tic recognition of wooden toy pieces and aggregates composed of these pieces. However, the more complex aggregates become, the more diicult becomes holistic recognition. Therefore, after a \\rst glance" hypothesis by the holistic recognition module, the aggregate mu...

Previous research has presented conflicting evidence regarding whether Chinese characters are processed holistically. In past work, we applied Systems Factorial Technology (SFT) and discovered that native speakers exhibited limited capacity when processing words. To pinpoint the source of this limitation, our current delved further into mental architecture involved in English words, taking cons...

Enterprise Architecture deals with the structure of an enterprise, relationships and interactions of its units. It provides a holistic approach to reconcile IT and Business concerns in an enterprise.

One of the important aspects of the crisis management consists in a comprehensive analysis of the impacts generated and their associated cost. The capacity to carry out an efficient holistic management, through the development of preventive measures and response programs relies on a proper estimation of impacts which helps to mitigate the harshness or can even avoid impacts in face of future cr...

Nurse Healer OBJECTIVES Theoretical I Explore the Theory of Integral Nursing and its application to holistic nursing. I Link Florence Nightingale's legacy of healing , leadership, global action, and her work as a nurse and citizen activist to 21st-century integral and holistic nursing.

Due to the growing importance of alignment, compliance and manageability issues, increased attention is being paid to architectures and architecture management recently. A holistic approach to enterprise architecture requires business related and information systems related artifacts to be equally treated. This paper describes the extension of an existing approach to enterprise architecture and...
