چکیده

Many agent-based systems rely for their effectiveness on the intelligence of individual agents, and interaction among agents is required simply to coordinate these individually complex decisions. Specification and design methods for such systems focus on the internal architecture of individual agents. An alternative approach, “Synthetic Ecosystems,” uses relatively simple agents and draws heavily on the dynamics of the interaction among these agents as well as their internal processing to solve domain problems. The specification and design of such systems must include not only the individual agents, but also the structure and dynamics of their interaction. This paper briefly defines and motivates the Synthetic Ecosystems approach and outlines some techniques that have proven useful in specifying and designing them.

Perspectives of Big Data Quality in Smart Service Ecosystems (Quality of Design and Quality of Conformance)

Despite the increasing importance of data and information quality, current research related to Big Data quality is still limited. It is particularly unknown how to apply previous data quality models to Big Data. In this paper we review Big Data quality research from several perspectives and apply a known quality model with its elements of conformance to specification and design in the context o...

Area-Specification affected by Industrial-Mineral Pollution in Isfahan Province

Air pollution is a consequence of human activities, especially in the period after industrial revolution, which has many (direct and indirect) effects on the human and the environment around him. Among different kinds of pollutions, those related to industries and mines are much more dangerous. Therefore, it is necessary to identify these pollutions and specify them so as to reduce the harmful ...

A Quartic Quality Loss Function and Its Properties

We propose a quartic function to represent a family of continuous quality loss functions. Depending on the choice of its parameters the shape of this function within the specification limits can be either symmetric or asymmetric, and it can be either similar to the ubiquitous quadratic loss function or somewhat closer to the conventional step function. We examine this family of loss functions i...

New Shewhart-type synthetic bar{X} control schemes for non-normal data

In this paper, Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic schemes are proposed as an alternative to the classical ̄X synthetic schemes when the assumption of normality fails to hold. First, the basic design of the Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic scheme is developed and its performance investigated using exact formulae. Secondly, the non-side-sensitive and side-sensitive Burr-type XII ̄X synthetic schemes are int...

Robust Economic-Statistical Design of Acceptance Control Chart

Acceptance control charts (ACC), as an effective tool for monitoring highly capable processes, establish control limits based on specification limits when the fluctuation of the process mean is permitted or inevitable. For designing these charts by minimizing economic costs subject to statistical constraints, an economic-statistical model is developed in this paper. However, the parameters of s...
