created in 8th century a.h., daqayeq al-she?er is one of the most important rhetoric texts has ever been written. little attentions have been paid to it due to the published unreliable correction. the present paper is going to offer, using some reliable handwritten versions, some new-found information about the author, taj al-halvani, the place it was written in, and the life and the works and ...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) are widely acknowledged as an appropriate modelling paradigm for distributed and decentralized systems, where a (potentially large) number of agents interact in non-trivial ways. Such interactions are often modelled defining high-level interaction protocols. Open MAS typically benefit from a number of infrastructural components that enable agents to discover their peer...

Balanced truncation (BT), as applied to date in model order reduction (MOR), is known for its superior accuracy and computable error bounds. Positive-real balanced truncation (PRBT) is a particular BT procedure that preserves passivity and stability, and imposes no structural constraints on the original state space. However, PRBT requires solving two algebraic Riccati equations (AREs), whose co...

Multi-agent systems (MAS) present an effective approach to the efficient development of modular systems composed of interacting agents. Several frameworks exist that aid the development of MAS, but they are often not very appropriate for some kind of uses, such as for Multi-Agent-based Simulation (MABS). Other frameworks exist for running simulations, sharing little with the former. While open ...

Within the framework of article, authors for first time introduce into scientific circulation correspondence between Shamkhal Mahdi Khan Tarkovsky, his nephew Muhammad-bek and Qadi Abdulkarim al-Atagi (from village Atagi), dedicated to conclusion a political alliance authoritative Chechen foreman Biybulat Taimiev. The correspondence, reconstructed by on basis newly discovered five letters its p...
