We investigate on designing agents facing multiple objectives simultaneously, that creates difficult situations, even if each objective is of low complexity. The present paper builds on an existing action selection process based on basic behaviors (resulting in a modular architecture) and proposes an algorithm for automatically selecting and learning the required basic behaviors through an incr...

Service architectures are an increasingly adopted architectural approach for solving the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) problem originated by business process automation requirements. In previous work, we developed a methodological framework for the designing of service architectures for EAI. The framework is structured in a layered architecture called LABAS, and is distinguished by u...

Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) has proven to be an important tool for the exploration and communication of architectural projects prior their real construction; however, there have been few scientific advances its use in understanding, exploration, definition space by architecture students initial design processes. The purpose this research is determine how IVR incorporated phases process impr...

A component-based software architecture is presented to support the process of designing and developing fault-tolerant computerised control systems. To this end, we combine an idealised fault-tolerant component, the C2 architecture style and protective wrappers, and embed fault tolerance techniques into component definitions. The resulting architecture is described by normaland abnormal-activit...

This paper presents an approach for designing robots and robotic systems based on the application of models, architectures, techniques and tools that have contributed valid solutions in other areas, such as ebusiness. Before applying these solutions, the physical elements that make up a robotic system are subjected to a normalization process in order to characterize their functional contributio...

The traditional architecture is the achievement of mankind experiences in different geographical/cultural and social domains. The traditional architecture of Iran as a valuable outcome is one of the live and spirited instances of the history of human life that through pondering and research and close relationship with its natural, historical and human environment would be obtained. The repea...

theoretically speaking, hr architecture is a new concept which can be studied in the framework of changes in leading hrm system and new approaches suggested for the relationships among employees and employers. since contextual variables carry diverse variations and importance levels, designing a hr architecture framework is a complex issue. therefore, the idea is considered to be piloted in ira...

recreation (creativity) is undoubtedly one of the important designing bases and a durable, matchless and unique factor which determines distinction, excellence, and elegance of a building in comparison with other buildings; and architecture as one of the manifestations of human life in a special time and place can be a reflection of thoughts, ideas and living method and also represent identity ...
