We describe GRUE, an architecture for game agents. GRUE facilitates the development of flexible agents capable of balancing competing goals and responding appropriately to their environment. We briefly describe GRUE’s representation of the agent’s environment and sketch the algorithm used to select between competing goals. We present some preliminary results from an evaluation of GRUE in a Tile...

This paper presents a context management framework in mobile environment together with a context representation and processing method. This includes a flexible procedure for context collection, update, exchange and processing for a mobile environment. This framework incorporates not only the dynamic context but also the static context distributed both in the network and mobile node. By compilin...

In this paper we present EDAS, an environment for decentralized, adaptive services. This environment offers flexible service models based on distributed mobile objects ranging from a traditional client-server scenario to a fully peer-to-peer based approach. Automatic, dynamic resource management allows optimized use of available resources while minimizing the administrative complexity. Furtherm...

in this study, the problem of navigation in dynamic and unknown environment is investigated and a navigation method based on force field approach is suggested. it is assumed that the robot performs navigation in unknown environment and builds the map through slam procedure. since the moving objects' location and properties are unknown, they are identified and tracked by kalman filter. kalm...

Preventive maintenance is the essential part of many maintenance plans. From the production point of view, the flexibility of the maintenance intervals enhances the manufacturing efficiency. On the contrary, the maintenance departments tend to know the timing of the long term maintenance plans as certain as possible. In a single-machine production environment, this paper proposes a simulation–o...

Dynamic linking, as in Java and C#, allows users to execute the most recent versions of software without re-compilation or re-linking. Dynamic linking is guided by type names stored in the bytecode. In current dynamic linking schemes, these type names are hard-coded into the bytecode. Thus, the bytecode reflects the compilation environment that produced it. However, the compilation environment ...

Business Process Modeling (BPM) is the first and most important step in business process management lifecycle. Graph based formalism and rule based formalism are the two most predominant formalisms on which process modeling languages are developed. BPM technology continues to face challenges in coping with dynamic business environments where requirements and goals are constantly changing at the...
