A comprehensive graphical analysis approach to perform data exploration utilizing the latest capabilities available in SAS systems are presented here. This ® practical approach integrates graphical analysis tools available in SAS systems and provides step-wise instructions to perform data exploration quickly without writing SAS program statements or using menu interface by running the SAS macro...

We consider the dynamics of Q learning in two-player two-action games with a Boltzmann exploration mechanism. For any nonzero exploration rate the dynamics is dissipative, which guarantees that agent strategies converge to rest points that are generally different from the game's Nash equlibria (NEs). We provide a comprehensive characterization of the rest point structure for different games and...

in this research, recognition of karstic water-bearing zones using the management of exploration data in kal-qorno valley, situated in the tepal area of shahrood, has been considered. for this purpose, the sequential exploration method was conducted using geological evidences and applying remote sensing and geoelectrical resistivity methods in two major phases including the regional and local s...

The translation of user requirements to system constraints and parameters during an exploration exercise is a hard problem, especially in the context of large scale embedded systems. This process is almost never simple and straightforward, and it often requires multidisciplinary skills. The user requirements are not fixed during the exploration stage. Furthermore, the system constraints may var...

The ability to explore an unknown environment is an important prerequisite for building truly autonomous robots. Two central capabilities for autonomous exploration are the selection of the next view point(s) for gathering new observations and robust navigation. In this paper, we propose a novel exploration strategy that exploits background knowledge by considering previously seen environments ...

Adults primarily walk to reach a new location, but why do infants walk? Do infants, like adults, walk to travel to a distant goal? We observed 30 13-month-old and 30 19-month-old infants during natural walking in a laboratory playroom. We characterized the bout structure of walking-when infants start and stop walking-to examine why infants start and stop walking. Locomotor activity was composed...

Modeling and model transformations tools are maturing and are being used in larger and more complex projects. The advantage of a modeling environment and its transformation tools cannot be easily exploited by non-expert users as many subtle intricacies determine the efficiency of transformation languages and their tools. We introduce transformation use case examples that highlight such language...

SystemCoDesigner is a software tool for automatic design space exploration at the electronic system level and automatic platform-based prototyping of hardware/software systems using SystemC.

As microprocessor-based systems grow in complexity, and the processor-memory speed gap widens further, more emphasis needs to be placed on early design space exploration in order to produce the highest performance systems with minimal schedule impact. We discuss the critical issues associated with architectural evaluation of complex microprocessor-based systems, and present a methodology for th...
