Connecting the World's Space Agencies

Connecting Cognitive and Physical Worlds with Dynamic Cost Function Definition

Our goal is to mesh the symbolic reasoning capabilities of a cognitive model with the constrained optimization possibilities inherent in optimal controls. We plan to develop and test such a system for several different dynamical models in environments of differing certainty and differing efficiency requirements.

Metabolic syndrome: connecting and reconciling cardiovascular and diabetes worlds.

The metabolic syndrome is a constellation of risk factors of metabolic origin that are accompanied by increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. These risk factors are atherogenic dyslipidemia, elevated blood pressure, elevated plasma glucose, a prothrombotic state, and a proinflammatory state. The two major underlying risk factors for the metabolic syndrome are obesity and ...

Process Modeling and Problem Solving: Connecting Two Worlds by BPMN

Business Processes (BPs) are the key instrument to understand how companies operate at an organizational level, taking an as-is view of the workflow, and how to address their issues by identifying a to-be model. In last year’s, the BP Model and Notation (BPMN) has be come a de-facto standard for m odeling processes. However, this standard does not incorporate explicitly the ProblemSolving (PS) ...
