Designing a new automatic numeric solver for ordinary diierential equations is motivated only if it answers some critical user needs. Such needs and their solutions are discussed in this paper. We describe also the capabilities of a prototyped problem solving environment.

This paper describes the possible evolution of the ELLPACK system from a research tool for software evaluation to an expert s~tem for solving elliptic problems. The third "version" of ELLPACK is presently under development with the intention of exploring the impact of parallel and vector computers 00 its problem solving capabilities and to introduce problem solving methods based on geometric do...

The functionally accurate cooperative FA C distributed problem solving paradigm has been an impor tant approach for organizing distributed problem solving among homogeneous cooperating agents They idea behind the FA C approach is that agents can produce tentative partial results based on only local information and then exploit the constraints that exist among these local results to resolve unce...

background: today’s nursing graduates value ability to creatively solve problems and make decisions, as these skills assist hem with recognizing and evaluating situations that require prompt attention. this study aimed to determine and compare nursing student’s perceived levels of own problem solving skills in various years of their 4-year program. methods: this is a cross-sectional study. all ...

over the past decade, there have been several studies showing autobiographical memory retrieval and problem‑solving deficits in depressed population. the present study aimed to first to examine the roles of autobiographical memory specificity and problemsolving effectiveness in iranian depressed people with or without suicide ideation and secondly, to test the correlations between autobiographi...

the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of coping stress skills training on stress and problem solving skill in taleghani dormitory students in kermanshah medical sciences university. the research method is experimental and has been done with pre-test, post-test and control group. research tools were harry inventory (2005) and endler and parker coping scale of stressful situation (1...

nowadays, improvement of thinking skills of students is one of the universally supported aims in the majority of medical schools. this study aims to design longitudinal theme of reasoning, problem-solving and decision-making into the undergraduate medical curriculum at tehran university of medical sciences (tums). a participatory approach was applied to design the curriculum during 2009-2011. t...

We present a n o verview of SCIRun, a scientiic problem solving environment that allows the interactive construction, debugging, and steering of large-scale scientiic computations. Using this \computational work-bench," a scientist can design and modify simulations interactively via a dataaow programming model. SCIRun enables scientists to design and modify model geometry, i n teractively chang...
