One of the most ubiquitous AI applications is vehicle route planning. While state-of-the-art systems take into account current traffic conditions or historic traffic data, current planning approaches ignore the impact of their own plans on the future traffic conditions. We present a novel algorithm for self-aware route planning that uses the routes it plans for current vehicle traffic to more a...

Spirituality is an abstract concept and has been defined differently by researchers. Watson (2006) defines spirituality as beliefs and values that are formed in response to human condition. Mabe and Josephson (2004) defined spirituality as the belief in and devotion to a higher power.Harris (2007) offered definitions such as living out stories of our lives, forming connections and creating mean...

This paper presents a decentralised Admission Control (AC) algorithm, based on the centralised proposed in [1–4]. Our algorithm is a multiple criteria AC algorithm, where each user can specify the QoS metrics that interest him/her, and decides whether a new call should be allowed to enter the network based on measurements of the QoS metrics on each link of the network before and after the trans...

In the aviation domain, maintaining a high level of situation awareness is one of the most critical and challenging features of an aircrew’s job. Situation awareness (SA) can be thought of as an internalized mental model of the current state of the flight environment. This integrated picture forms the central organizing feature from which all decision making and action takes place. A vast porti...

The dimension of self-awareness focuses on the development of awareness of what is going on in one's own interior. A highly developed self-awareness can lead to the emergence and consolidation of a witnessing self that is not entangled in the contents of awareness. Meta-awareness is a concept that points to the possibility of taking awareness itself as an object of attention. Robert Kegan (1982...
