The paper presents the findings of a survey of 40 microsystems companies that was carried out to determine the use and the purpose of use of media forms and information flow models within these companies. These companies as ‘product-service systems’ delivered integrated products and services to realise customer solutions. Data collection was carried out by means of an online survey over 3 month...

background: as geographic science discusses the analysis of environment, human beings and their mutual relations, thus the field of medical geography consists of being inspired from the relations between these two factors, analyzing environmental factors, their identification them and the state of their effects on human health, as well as determining the location of these factors. some hazards ...

A new generalized Voronoi diagram is defined on the surface of a river with unifonn flow; a point belongs to the territory of a site if and only if a boat starting from the site can reach the point faster than a boat starting from any other site. If the river runs slower than the boat, the Voronoi diagram can be obtained from the ordinary Voronoi diagram by a certain transformation, whereas if ...

A unified description of networked dynamical systems, entitled multiport diagram, is proposed in this paper. The multiport diagram is an object-oriented model structure described into a general mathematical framework, independently from any computer language. It is shown that usual diagrammatic representations of networks, e.g. block diagrams, signal flow graphs, compartmental networks and bond...

Cochrane systematic reviews are conducted and reported according to rigorous standards. A study flow diagram must be included in a new review, and there is clear guidance from the PRISMA statement on how to do this. However, for a review update, there is currently no guidance on how study flow diagrams should be presented. To address this, a working group was formed to find a solution and produ...

In this paper, we propose an adaptive casteship mechanism for modelling and designing adaptive Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). In our approach, caste is the modular unit and abstraction that specify agents’ behaviour. Adaptive behaviours of agents are captured as the change of castes during their lifecycles by executing ‘join’, ‘quit’, ‘activate’ and ‘deactivate’ operations on castes. The formal sem...

We present a simplified system of axioms for Abstract Voronoi Diagrams that should pave the way for new applications in theory and practice.

Distance and online universities have usually more flexible academic requirements than brick-and-mortar ones, so students do not uniformly advance within the programme they enroll into as they are supposed to. Furthermore, due to their intrinsic nature, distance students need additional support for deciding which subjects they will take every semester. On the other hand, teachers have usually n...

Control flow diagrams are a keystone in testing the structure of software programs. With the help of control flow between the various components of the program, we can select the test cases in a particular domain. In this paper, we introduced a window-based tool for generating the CFG of a C Program automatically. The data flow testing, i.e., control flow testing depends on all def-use of the v...
