In this paper we present successively the proposition and the design of: 1) μ-tools adapted to collaborative activity of design, and 2) a multi-agent platform adapted to innovative and distributed design of products or services. This platform called PLACID (innovating and distributed design platform) must support applications of assistance to actors implies in a design process that we have call...

Carlyle Jacobsen and John Fulton, at Yale in the early and mid-1930s, investigated primate frontal lobe function. Following bilateral frontal lobecotomy, monkeys and chimpanzees developed a delayedresponse deficit, being unable to perform tasks when there was a significant delay between the stimulus and the required response. There were accom panying behavioural changes, with the animals becomi...

A disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve is a Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve whose control points are disks in a plane. It can be viewed as a parametric curve with error tolerances. In this paper, we discuss the problem of degree reduction of disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curve, that is, bounding disk Wang-Bézier type generalized Ball curves with lower degree disk Wa...
