چکیده
In mobile app ecosystems, an app can behave like a virus. Once downloaded, it may cause its user to recommend that app to friends who then may download the app and “infect” other friends. Epidemics occur when a small number of downloads causes a snowballing effect that results in a massive number of downloads (and consequently, a rich developer). This paper presents AppEco, the first Artificial Life model of mobile application ecosystems. AppEco models the app store, app developers, apps, users, and their behaviour. We use AppEco to simulate Apple’s iOS app ecosystem and investigate common publicity strategies adopted by developers and their effects on app downloads. Specifically, we investigate three causal factors for a widespread “app infection” from epidemiology: the users’ exposure to the app, the users’ susceptibility to the app, and the infectiousness of the app.

Use of Artificial Neural Networks to Examine Parameters Affecting the Immobilization of Streptokinase in Chitosan
Streptokinase is a potent fibrinolytic agent which is widely used in treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) and acute myocardial infarction (MI). Major limitation of this enzyme is its short biological half-life in the blood stream. Our previous report showed that complexing streptokinase with chitosan could be a solution to overcome this limitation. The aim of this re...

متن کاملMaking Right(s) Decision: Artificial life and Rights Reconsidered
With the proliferation of robotics in industry, education and entertainment, artificial intelligent robots challenge the way we think about relationships between humans and machines. This study examines critical issues in artificial life and rights, which are an emergent but, as yet, little understood area of educational inquiry through one of the most popular video game, The Sims. Since The Si...
