Search reduction in hierarchical distributed problem solving
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-09)
Knoblock and Korf have determined that abstraction can reduce search at a single agent from exponential to linear complexity (Knoblock 1991; Korf 1987). We extend their results by showing how concurrent problem solving ...
Production variability in manufacturing systems: Bernoulli reliability case
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-01)
The problem of production variability in serial manufacturing lines with unreliable machines is addressed. Bernoulli statistics of machine reliability are assumed. Three problems are considered: the problem of production ...
ARMADA Middleware and Communication Services
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1999-05)
Real-time embedded systems have evolved during the past several decades from small custom-designed digital hardware to large distributed processing systems. As these systems become more complex, their interoperability, ...
An Investigation of Software Scaffolds Supporting Modeling Practices
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-12)
Modeling of complex systems and phenomena is of value in science learning and is increasingly emphasised as an important component of science teaching and learning. Modeling engages learners in desired pedagogical activities. ...
Students as multimedia composers
(Elsevier, 1994-12)
This study is distinguished by distancing itself from the type of multimedia research that looks at the effects of multimedia instructional units on students. The approach, instead, is within a constructionist learning ...
On nonconflicting languages that arise in supervisory control of discrete event systems
(Elsevier, 1991-08)
We study four classes of nonconflicting sublanguages of a given language that arise in supervisory control of discrete event systems. We first present closed-form expressions for the supremal nonconflicting sublanguage and ...
A synthetic workload for a distributed real-time system
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-07)
In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a synthetic workload (SW) for a distributed real-time system. A SW is a set of parameterized synthetic or artificial programs which serve as the workload for a ...
Rater agreements in assigning stanford-binet items to Guilford's structure of intellect operations categories
(Elsevier, 1975)
Nineteen school psychologists assigned the 142 items in the Form L-M of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale to the five Operations categories of Guilford's Structure of Intellect model, following flow charts prepared for ...
Organizational Memory as Objects, Processes, and Trajectories: An Examination of Organizational Memory in Use
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-04)
For proper knowledge management, organizations must consider how knowledge is kept and reused. The term organizational memory is due for an overhaul. Memory appears to be everywhere in organizations; yet, the term has been ...
