Process and object-orientation are basic concepts of modeling, implementing and customizing information systems. In this paper we present two approaches of combining those concepts into a coherent way. In the first approach we discuss how to transform business process models (Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) diagrams) into object-oriented models (Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams). The m...

The formalism of probabilistic languages has been introduced for modeling the qualitative behavior of stochastic discrete event systems. A probabilistic language is a unit interval valued map over the set of traces of the system satisfying certain consistency constraints. Regular language operators such as choice, concatenation, and Kleene-closure have been de ned in the setting of probabilisti...

a 54 year old man with history of cardiomyopathy and chronic fibrillation first presented with bloody diarrhea. then during the assessment of his abnormal lab. data revealed cast nephropathy in renal biopsy, gamma peak in protein electrophoresis and fine lytic lesions in skull graphy. his bone marrow aspiration showed multiple myeloma and blood smear revealed plasma cell leukemia. our patient w...

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer inherent packet redundancy since each point within the network area is covered by more than one sensor node. This phenomenon, which is known as sensors co-coverage, is used in this paper to detect unauthenticated events. Unauthenticated event broadcasting in a WSN imposes network congestion, worsens the packet loss rate, and increases the network energy con...

Stand-alone modeling and distributed modeling show considerable differences in methodology and amount of modeling effort needed. An approach is discussed to design and develop distributed models with the ease of stand-alone modeling and without the overhead usually associated with distributed modeling. The main objective is to obtain interchangeability of a stand-alone model and its distributed...

Currently deep learning has made great breakthroughs in visual and speech processing, mainly because it draws lessons from the hierarchical mode that brain deals with images and speech. In the field of NLP, a topic model is one of the important ways for modeling documents. Topic models are built on a generative model that clearly does not match the way humans write. In this paper, we propose Ev...

Time plays an important role in norms. In this paper we start from our previously proposed classification of obligations, and point out some shortcomings of Event Calculus (EC) to represent obligations. We propose an extension of EC that avoids such shortcomings and we show how to use it to model the various types of obligations.

Object-oriented programming owes part of its popularity to Booch's notation [2], Rumbaugh's OMT [7], and UML [8]. These notations allow object oriented designs to be expressed graphically and furthermore have enabled the development of case tools for object oriented languages. The lack of a suitable high level graphical notation has been identi ed as one of the factors discouraging the uptake o...
