Canonical realization of general time systems
(Elsevier, 1977)
The canonical realization of general time systems by dynamical systems is discussed employing the notation and definitions of Takahara and Mesarovic. Previous results are extended to the case of causal, but not necessarily ...
Congregation Formation in Multiagent Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-07)
We present congregating both as a metaphor for describing and modeling multiagent systems (MAS) and as a means for reducing coordination costs in large-scale MAS. When agents must search for other agents to interact with, ...
Knowledge-directed Adaptation in Multi-level Agents
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1997-11)
Most work on adaptive agents have a simple, single layerarchitecture. However, most agent architectures support three levels ofknowledge and control: a reflex level for reactive responses, a deliberatelevel for goal-driven ...
Register assignment in tree-structured programs
(Elsevier, 1979-06)
Much complex decision-making is performed routinely by the software of a computer system. It is appropriate to study more thoroughly the performance of this built-in decision-making, because it can strongly influence the ...
Planning and Resource Allocation for Hard Real-time, Fault-Tolerant Plan Execution
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-03)
We describe the interface between a real-time resource allocation system with an AI planner in order to create fault-tolerant plans that are guaranteed to execute in hard real-time. The planner specifies the task set and ...
The categorical framework of object-oriented concurrent systems
(Elsevier, 1993-01)
Category Theory is introduced as a mathematical model for an object-oriented concurrent system which is viewed as a collection of objects and processes. An object can be represented as an algebra, whereas a process as a ...
Modeling and analysis of bias-ply motorcycle tires
(Elsevier, 1985)
Physical properties of motorcycle tire structure are considered to help select a good and true-to-life mechanistic model suitable for finite element analysis of tires. Rubber and bias-ply layered-cord together make the ...
Developing control and integration software for flexible manufacturing systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1991-07)
The slow growth of computer-integrated manufacturing is attributed to the complexity of designing and implementing their control and integration software. This article expands on a methodology for designing and implementing ...
