This contribution proposes an approach to man which integrates psychological, linguistic and neurobiological perspectives. In addition, precise definitions of psychological terms and a psychophysical structure model are suggested as fundaments for a comprehensive understanding of human experience, thinking and action. A theoretically crucial distinction is made between cognition and intention. ...

We sketch an algorithmic framework to integrate (iterative) solvers of subsystems of a large nonlinear system into a joint iterative solution process.

In this paper we give a description of the subsystem construct in the Uniied Modeling Language, emphasizing its dynamic aspects , thus giving a detailed description of the semantics of interaction with subsystems. Depending on whether the surroundings of the subsystem make use of public elements in the subsystem or not, the subsystem is considered to be open or closed, respectively. This leads ...

The third-generation partnership project 3GPP and 3GPP2 have standardized the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) to provide ubiquitous and access network-independent IP-based services for next-generation networks via merging cellular networks and the Internet. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) seems to be the technology that will prevail in Next Generation Networks (NGNs). The users wish to communic...

A critical step in experimental quantum information processing QIP is to implement control of quantum systems protected against decoherence via informational encodings, such as quantum error-correcting codes, noiseless subsystems, and decoherence-free subspaces. These encodings lead to the promise of fault-tolerant QIP, but they come at the expense of resource overheads. Part of the challenge i...

Subsystem codes are a generalization of noiseless subsystems, decoherence-free subspaces and stabilizer codes. We generalize the quantum Singleton bound to Fq-linear subsystem codes. It follows that no subsystem code over a prime field can beat the quantum Singleton bound. On the other hand, we show the remarkable fact that there exist impure subsystem codes beating the quantum Hamming bound. A...

Subsystem codes are a generalization of noiseless subsystems, decoherence free subspaces, and quantum error-correcting codes. We prove a Singleton bound for Fqlinear subsystem codes. It follows that no subsystem code over a prime field can beat the Singleton bound. On the other hand, we show the remarkable fact that there exist impure subsystem codes beating the Hamming bound. A number of open ...

A max-plus system with partial synchronization is a persistent discrete event system divided into a main subsystem and a secondary subsystem where some events in the secondary subsystem can only occur when (not after) associated events in the main subsystem occur. A formal model based on max-plus recursive equations is presented for max-plus systems with partial synchronization. Furthermore, th...
