Most Adaptable to Change

Adaptable Wrapper Generation for Web Page Format Change

In this paper, we propose an adaptive wrapper generator that can generate adaptable wrapper for adapting networked information sources (NIS) format changes. When NIS’s format changed, the adaptable wrapper can start recovery phase to discover the extraction rule of the new format of target NIS. The wrapper can automatically adapt the changes of content tag and accurately extract information. Th...

Most corals may not change their symbionts

Many corals (stony corals and octocorals) rely on their symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) for survival. Under stress, zooxanthellae are expelled, resulting in coral bleaching. The hypothesis that corals may survive climate change by exchanging algal types is shown here to be potentially applicable only to a minority of corals. Data on 442 coral species from 43 studies reveal that only a few coral...

Contributions to adaptable agent societies

The adoption of agents as utile companions faces the problem of conciliating the development of complex and intelligent functionalities with the requirements of autonomy mobility and adaptability. Our main focus will be on the agents adaptability. A hybrid agent architecture approach is proposed where a static component, which resides at user’s host and includes most of the intelligence and dec...

Impacts of climate change on the world's most exceptional ecoregions.

The current rate of warming due to increases in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is very likely unprecedented over the last 10,000 y. Although the majority of countries have adopted the view that global warming must be limited to <2 °C, current GHG emission rates and nonagreement at Copenhagen in December 2009 increase the likelihood of this limit being exceeded by 2100. Extensive evidence has li...
