چکیده

The term “cultural package” is employed here in its usual anthropological sense. For a canonical example, think of hunting with dogs; this “culture,” which took shape in the late paleolithic, entailed for humans to adopt, adapt, learn how best to use, and get themselves adapted to an external entity employed as an extension of their individual faculties. In our case, we want to make it possible for ordinary people to use the computer as an unobtrusive extension of their own capabilities. The computer will materially support an expanded personal information space—one’s knowledge home—and provide the additional processing power needed to structure and manage it. But these resources will have to be matched, on the human individual’s side, by the acquisition of substantial new skills, competences, and traditions—an extension of ordinary literacy.

Hierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents

This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...

An Approximate Analytic Model for Evaluating the Photonic Band Structure of a 2-D Octagonal Photonic Quasicrystals

In this work, using perturbation technique we have developed an approximate analytic model for evaluating the band structure of a 2-D octagonal photonic quasicrystal (PQC). Although numerical techniques are being used for evaluating such band structures, developing a numerical model to the best of our knowledge this work is the first instance of reporting helps to understand the physical proper...

Entropy Based Fuzzy Rule Weighting for Hierarchical Intrusion Detection

Predicting different behaviors in computer networks is the subject of many data mining researches. Providing a balanced Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that directly addresses the trade-off between the ability to detect new attack types and providing low false detection rate is a fundamental challenge. Many of the proposed methods perform well in one of the two aspects, and concentrate on a su...

User Adaptive and Context-Aware Smart Home Using Pervasive and Semantic Technologies

Ubiquitous Computing is moving the interaction away from the human-computer paradigm and towards the creation of smart environments that users and things, from the IoT perspective, interact with. User modeling and adaptation is consistently present having the human user as a constant but pervasive interaction introduces the need for context incorporation towards context-aware smart environments...

Extraction of Respiratory Signal Based on Image Clustering and Intensity Parameters at Radiotherapy with External Beam: A Comparative Study

Background: Since tumors located in thorax region of body mainly move due to respiration, in the modern radiotherapy, there have been many attempts such as; external markers, strain gage and spirometer represent for monitoring patients’ breathing signal. With the advent of fluoroscopy technique, indirect methods were proposed as an alternative approach to extract patients’ breathing signals...
