DESCRIPTION This paper describes the Genophone [2], a hyperinstru-ment developed for Sound-Performance-Design using the evolutionary paradigm of selective breeding as the driving process. Sound design, and control assignments (performance mappings), on most current systems rely heavily on an intimate knowledge of the Sound Synthesis Techniques (SSTs) employed by the sound generator (hardware or...

In this study, we analyse incremental cooperative communication for wireless body area networks (WBANs) with different numbers of relays. Energy efficiency (EE) and the packet error rate (PER) are investigated for different schemes. We propose a new cooperative communication scheme with three-stage relaying and compare it to existing schemes. Our proposed scheme provides reliable communication ...

This paper is concerned with the juridical problems on cooperative banks’ regulations Indonesia’s goals stated in 1945 Constitution Republic of Indonesia. The arise due to absence commercial banks form banks. Furthermore, Indonesia has a minimum number rural (BPR Co). Currently, OJK registered only 19 BPR Co out 1545 BPRs (0.01%). study aims examine bank regulation as Constitution. It normative...

Erbium doped Al2O3 waveguide amplifiers were fabricated using two different doping methods, namely Er ion implantation into sputter deposited Al2O3 , and co-sputtering from an Er2O3 /Al2O3 target. Although the Er concentration in both materials is almost identical ~0.28 and 0.31 at. %!, the amplifiers show a completely different behavior. Upon pumping with 1.48 mm, the co-sputtered waveguide sh...

This paper presents a two months in situ case study analyzing the characteristics of designers’ cooperative work through the use of “mediating objects”. We suggest that the consideration of real and evolutionary practices and everyday complementary work tools helps to understand the various cooperative modalities between co-workers and offers good clues for the development of cooperation suppor...

We study the computational complexity of the cooperative and non-cooperative rational synthesis problems, as introduced by Kupferman, Vardi and co-authors. We provide tight results for most of the classical omega-regular objectives, and show how to solve those problems optimally. 1998 ACM Subject Classification B.6.3 Automatic Synthesis, F.2 Analysis of algorithms and problem complexity, F.1.1 ...

We propose an innovative cooperative co-evolutionary computation framework, Dynamic Cooperative Coevolution (DCC), which provides dynamic coupling of neighboring species for the fitness evaluation of individuals. One feature of DCC is the utilization of local fitness to achieve a global optimum, which makes it possible for co-evolutionary algorithms to be applied in localized distributed enviro...

Cooperative communication has been considered as a promising technique to improve communication quality of service (QoS) in wireless networks, including mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Due to their unorganized and decentralized infrastructure, cooperative MANETs (CO-MANETs) are vulnerable to attacks initiated on relays. Although encryption and authentication protocols may prevent compromised d...
