Recent work has shown how socially inspired mechanisms developed within social science simulations can be applied to a number of application domains in distributed systems engineering. Here we proposed a general mechanism based on an evolutionary “group selection” process in which individual entities (agents, nodes or components) dynamically copy the behavior of other entities if they achieve h...

The field of program understanding attempts to determine the function of a code segment without programmer intervention and for this to occur, it is necessary to have a model (plan) against which to attempt to match the code segment of interest. This paper traces in detail the pattern recognition of the selection sort algorithm.

Tubular organs display a wide variety of surface morphologies including circumferential and longitudinal folds, square and hexagonal undulations, and finger-type protrusions. Surface morphology is closely correlated to tissue function and serves as a clinical indicator for physiological and pathological conditions, but the regulators of surface morphology remain poorly understood. Here, we expl...

Feature selection helps to focus resources on relevant dimensions of input data. Usually, reducing the input dimensionality to the most informative features also simplifies subsequent tasks, such as classification. This is, for instance, important for systems operating in online mode under time constraints. However, when the training data is of limited size, it becomes difficult to define a sin...

Any inexperienced designer may not take advantage of design patterns due to their high level of abstraction, on the one hand, and their overwhelming number, on the other hand. In this paper, we propose a new approach that first retrieves and recommends a design pattern that is adequate to a designer's modeling context, it then helps them in its instantiation. Our approach learns past pattern re...

Malay home surroundings is varies in plants pattern as well as a variety of size. The plants speciescultivated own their particular reasons. Malay house environment is so harmony with humans, Mother Nature alsoculture relationship has visualise a unique environmental design. In this accomplishing research, it will provide anunderstanding of plants adoption of Malay house environment. Environmen...

we collected 60 adult males and 85 adult females of trapelus lessonae de filippi, 1863 in early may 2008 from central iranian plateau to study sexual dimorphism in morphological traits as well as female reproductive traits. size-related sexual dimorphism occurred in all the compared body dimensions. the largest female was 83.88 mm in snout-vent length, and the largest male was 73.12 mm. as well...

abstract. today, there is no specific method or criterion for selecting contractors in the researches’ field. usually this selection is regarded as a matter of taste and as a result, there is no coordinated approach in the mentioned domain. sometimes, after signing the contract, the inappropriate selection became clear. the managers are in direct need of a pattern for selecting the contractors....
