Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are among the most addressed research fields in the area of computer science in recent years. WSANs are composed of possibly a large number of tiny, autonomous sensor devices and resource rich actors equipped with wireless communication and computation capabilities. In WSANs, actors collect sensor information and respond collaboratively to achieve an a...

Considering a commutative unital quantale L as the truth value table and using the tool of L-generalized convergence structures of stratified L-filters, this paper introduces a kind of fuzzy upper topology, called fuzzy S-upper topology, on L-preordered sets. It is shown that every fuzzy join-preserving L-subset is open in this topology. When L is a complete Heyting algebra, for every completel...

in this paper‎, ‎we introduce a new model of point free topology‎ ‎for point-set topology‎. ‎we study the basic concepts in this‎ ‎structure and will find that it is naturally close to point-set‎ ‎topology‎.‎

this paper introduces a new approach to topology, based on category theory and universal algebra, and called categorically-algebraic (catalg) topology. it incorporates the most important settings of lattice-valued topology, including poslat topology of s.~e.~rodabaugh, $(l,m)$-fuzzy topology of t.~kubiak and a.~v{s}ostak, and $m$-fuzzy topology on $l$-fuzzy sets of c.~guido. moreover, its respe...

let g = (v,e) be a locally finite graph, i.e. a graph in which every vertex has finitely many adjacent vertices. in this paper, we associate a topology to g, called graphic topology of g and we show that it is an alexandroff topology, i.e. a topology in which intersec- tion of every family of open sets is open. then we investigate some properties of this topology. our motivation is to give an e...

modeling and simulation of processing plants are widely used in industry. construction of a mathematical model for a plant is a time-consuming and error-prone task. in light of extensive advancements in computer science (both hardware and software), computers are becoming a necessary instrument in industrial activities. many software tools for modeling, simulation and optimization of processing...
