The article motivates the integration of user adaptive behavior into information services and describes BAND as a superstructure over merely database-oriented services. It presents the general architecture of BAND and describes a typical application scenario, a user adaptive TV-assistant. Eventually further possible domains are suggested where BAND's user adaptive behavior might improve present...

Ethology is the study of behavior that allows animals to survive and reproduce in natural environments (i.e., adaptive behavior). Neuroethology is the study of the neural basis of adaptive behavior. Computational neuroethology is the use of modeling and simulation to study the neural control of adaptive behavior. In contrast, the broad area of computational neuroscience generally focuses on mod...

Adaptive behavioral capabilities are necessary for robust navigation in non-engineered environments. A control approach to adaptive behavior is described which exploits the approximate reasoning facility of fuzzy logic. In particular, a behavior-based architecture for hierarchical fuzzy control of mobile robots is presented. Its structure is described as well as mechanisms of control decision-m...

-Adaptive transmission techniques, such as adaptive modulation and coding, adaptive power control, adaptive transmitter diversity, etc., depend on the transmitter's ability to predict future behavior of the channel. Recently, we proposed a reliable long-range prediction algorithm for rapidly time variant fading channels. In this paper, we analyze the statistical behavior of the errors generated...

AIM To determine the relation between urgency alone, or in combination with frequency and nocturia, and adaptive behavior in overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome. METHODS We used survey data from the General Longitudinal Overactive Bladder Evaluation (GLOBE) of primary care patients over 40. Participants (n=2,752: 1,557 females; 1,195 males) completed the same survey at two time points, 6 months...

Can adaptive behavior be useful in a human learning environment? The work presented here proposes that introducing adaptive agents to a human learning community can be e ective in several ways: 1. to guide selection of appropriate problems for human learners, 2. to embody \self-organizing" curricula, 3. to provide simple student models, 4. to impersonate human learning partners, and 5. to facil...

Intelligent mobile agent technology is one of the most promising oftbe newer software paradigms for providing solutions to complex, distributed computing problems. Agent properties of autonomy, intelligence and mobility provide a powerful platform for implementations that can utilize techniques involving collaborative problem solving and adaptive behavior. Although the technological tools and c...
