Our technologies for collecting, storing, and disseminating vast amounts of information have gotten ahead of our technologies for collating and analyzing it, and that situation has posed a serious challenge for human language technology. As a consequence, natural language processing has been moving rapidly towards large-scale systems addressed to real tasks. Demos that won't scale up are no lon...

Much seems to have focused about justice, while,...

The paper describes web-based online materials for a course in power object working modes modeling and optimization. The course covers topics like power systems and models, system identification, modeling and optimization, with fuzzy sets theory methods using. An essential part of the material is interactive demos that are implemented with Matlab, Simulink and Matlab Web Server. Copyright 2005 ...

This paper presents two demos with EXHOST-PIPE: first we present an application of the tool to model and animate a plan Petri net in order to supervise and control a team of robots; second we focus on the particle Petri net-based estimation of a hybrid system and the detection of behavioural inconsistencies between an aircraft and its crew.
