Human infants show spontaneous behaviours such as general movement, goal-directed behaviour, and self-motivated behaviour from a very early age. However, it is unclear how these behaviours are organised throughout development. A major hindrance to empirical investigation is that there is no common paradigm for all ages that can circumvent infants' underdeveloped verbal and motor abilities. Here...

As a preliminary overview, this work provides first a broad tutorial on the fluidization of discrete event dynamic models, an efficient technique for dealing with the classical state explosion problem. Even if named as continuous or fluid, the relaxed models obtained are frequently hybrid in a technical sense. Thus, there is plenty of room for using discrete, hybrid and continuous model techniq...

In this paper, we propose a modeling paradigm that uses fuzzy sets to represent concepts on which control modules of a behavior-based autonomous robot operate. The primitives defined in the modeling paradigm are expressive enough to represent the knowledge needed by planning, coordination, and reactive control of a multi-robot control system. At the same time, it provides a well-founded tool to...

Cloud computing is the new computing paradigm that has influenced the way computing takes places in the recent past. This emerging technology allows users to outsource their business data and expensive operations as well without capital investment in pay per use fashion. However there are security concerns on outsourced data as the cloud servers are treated as untrusted. To overcome this proble...
