The lack of exibility and performance of current communication subsystems has led researchers to look for new protocol architectures. A new design philosophy, exible and eecient, referred to in the literature as function-based communication model is emerging and seems to be very promising. It consists of designing application-tailored communication subsystems adapted to the speciic requirements...

This contribution proposes an approach to man which integrates psychological, linguistic and neurobiological perspectives. In addition, precise definitions of psychological terms and a psychophysical structure model are suggested as fundaments for a comprehensive understanding of human experience, thinking and action. A theoretically crucial distinction is made between cognition and intention. ...

We sketch an algorithmic framework to integrate (iterative) solvers of subsystems of a large nonlinear system into a joint iterative solution process.

In this paper we give a description of the subsystem construct in the Uniied Modeling Language, emphasizing its dynamic aspects , thus giving a detailed description of the semantics of interaction with subsystems. Depending on whether the surroundings of the subsystem make use of public elements in the subsystem or not, the subsystem is considered to be open or closed, respectively. This leads ...

Due to the particular geographical location and geological condition, Taiwan is constantly attacked by typhoons, flood, landslides, debris flows, and earthquakes. Those natural hazards had caused huge loss of lives and properties. To reduce the damages and losses caused by the natural hazards, an integrated and complete decision support system for decision makers is necessary. In this study, Sa...

The third-generation partnership project 3GPP and 3GPP2 have standardized the IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) to provide ubiquitous and access network-independent IP-based services for next-generation networks via merging cellular networks and the Internet. The IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) seems to be the technology that will prevail in Next Generation Networks (NGNs). The users wish to communic...

A critical step in experimental quantum information processing QIP is to implement control of quantum systems protected against decoherence via informational encodings, such as quantum error-correcting codes, noiseless subsystems, and decoherence-free subspaces. These encodings lead to the promise of fault-tolerant QIP, but they come at the expense of resource overheads. Part of the challenge i...
