Today s dynamic industrial process simulation problems require systematically new methodologies and sophisticated computational tools Such processes involve frequently discontinuities environ ment structures changes and entities with high functional levels Furthermore there are cases where we must integrate intelligent techniques and negotiation protocols These characteristics are crucial in di...

This paper mainly presents a Turkish sentence generator for producing the actual text from its semantic description To concentrate on the text generation rather than text planning we assume that the lexicalized semantic de scription of the text is produced in some way currently given by hand In the generation we need a linguistic theory to describe the linguistic resources and also a software t...

All organisms maintain a strict redox environment, crucial for cell physiology, by preserving the pro-oxidant compounds generated during cell metabolism and from antioxidant system elements. In pathophysiological conditions, the redox environ‐ ment is altered, causing oxidative stress, cell damage, and eventually cell death. In this chapter, we review the elements involved in the redox environm...

We present a framework for building agents that lea rn using SMART, a system that combines stochastic model acquisition with reinforcement lea rning to enable an agent to model its environment through experience and subsequently for m action selection policies using the acquired model. We extend an existing algorithm for automati c creation of stochastic strips operators (Oates et. al 1995) as ...

In this paper, we examine “program. adjustment”. a formal and practical approach to developing correct concurrent programs. by automatically adjusting an, imperfect program to satisfy given constraints. A concurrent program is modeled by a finite state process, and program adjustment to satisfy temporal logic constraints is formalized as the synthesis of an arbiter process which partially seria...

To achieve an optimum transmission over a noisy wireless channel, both the source coding and network should be jointly adapted. An acceptable video quality in wireless environ‐ ment can be obtained by the adjustment of parameters in video codec and wireless network. For the former, people have proposed many error resilient video encoding algorithms to en‐ hance the robust performance of the com...

INTRODUCTION During the past 6 years studies have been car ried out on the morphology, growth, and possible etiology of nerve sheath tumors observed in gold fish, Carassius auratus. The fish were all inhabit ants of a large lagoon in the city of Cleveland.1 The tumors were neurilemomas and neurofibromas; in seven instances they were histologically malignant. The question of the neoplastic char ...

We present a timed process calculus for modelling wireless networks in which individualstations broadcast and receive messages; moreover the broadcasts are subject to collisions. Basedon a reduction semantics for the calculus we define a contextual equivalence to compare the externalbehaviour of such wireless networks. Further, we construct an extensional LTS (labelled transition<lb...

The replication of DNA is a process found throughout the prokaryotic and the eukaryotic kingdoms. Although the basic aim of this process is the duplication of the genetic informa‐ tion, the mechanisms leading to replication are different in prokaryotes and in eukaryotes. A major divergence between the two kingdoms corresponds to the nature of the substrate of the replication process [1]. Indeed...

Agent oriented software implies the realization of software components which are mobile autonomous and solve problems by creating new software compo nents during run time moving between locations ini tiating or joining groups of other software components Modeling and simulating those multiagent systems re quires speci c mechanisms for variable structure mod eling JAMES a Java Based Agent Modeli...
