Populations of artificial organisms live in an environment in which light is cyclically present (day) or absent (night). Since being active during night is non-adaptive (activity consumes energy which is not compensated by the food found at night) the organisms evolve a sleep/wake behavioral pattern of being active during daytime and sleeping during nighttime. When the population moves to a dif...

Training and Development is a continuous process for improving the caliber and competence of the employees to meet the current and future performances. Training in addition to imparting requisite skills to all levels of employees, executives and managers also aims at changing the behavioral patterns of the employees in a direction which is congenial to achieve the organizational effectiveness, ...

This paper proposes two behavioral patterns called DIVIDE-&-CONQUER and BACKTRACKING to facilitate the development of algorithms based upon algorithm design techniques. The common informal seudocode that specifies the solving strategy for a general algorithm design technique is enhanced to provide a helpful guide to develop particular algorithms by following the divide and conquer and the backt...

Despite Email being the most popular communication medium currently in use and that people have been shown to regularly re-use messages, very little is known about how people actually search within email clients. In this paper we present a detailed analysis of email search behaviour obtained from a study of 47 users. We uncover a number of behavioral patterns that contrast with those previously...

in this study, the profitability of contrarian and momentum strategies were traded in mid- term based on trading volume. the stocks were categorized into three parts (high, middle and low) at the outset. then, the relationship between excess return with three components such as cross-sectional risk, lead-lag effect and time-series pattern were examined based on jegadeesh and titman approach.the...

Game theory is one of the key paradigms behind many scientific disciplines from biology to behavioral sciences to economics. In its evolutionary form and especially when the interacting agents are linked in a specific social network the underlying solution concepts and methods are very similar to those applied in non-equilibrium statistical physics. This review gives a tutorial-type overview of...

An anticipatory reasoning-reacting system anticipates based on anticipatory reasoning, which can draw new, previously unknown and/or unrecognized conclusions about some future event or events whose occurrence and truth are uncertain at the point of time when the reasoning is being performed. To perform anticipatory reasoning, we need to express the real world, predictive laws and behavioral pat...

In this paper, we suggest a pattern language, a collection of related design patterns, for the development of communication protocols with an emphasis on an SDL (Specification and Description Language) implementation. The patterns are grouped in two categories: structural patterns and behavioral patterns. The structural patterns are focused on the architectural aspects of communication protocol...

The Reactor design pattern handles service requests that are delivered concurrently by multiple clients. This pattern simplifies event-driven applications by integrating the synchronous demultiplexing of events and the dispatching of their corresponding event handlers. In addition, the Reactor pattern also decouples the generic demultiplexing and dispatching code from the application-specific e...
