The specialization exists in biological systems and in human organizations, as a methodology to improve processes and optimize their aims. This specialization in artificial intelligent systems such as multi-agent systems, can improve their aims, depending on the type of specialization and the goals which they need to achieve. The enterprise networks are a collaboration model between companies w...

MÚLTIPLE SPECIALIZATION AND ITS APPLICATION TO PROGRAM PARALLELIZATION G E R M Á N PUEBLA AND MANUEL H E R M E N E G I L D O |> Program specialization optimizes programs for known valúes of the input. It is often the case that the set of possible input valúes is unknown, or this set is infinite. However, a form of specialization can still be performed in such cases by means of abstract interpre...

Programming systems that generate code at run time o er unique opportunities for specialization. Dynamic specialization can exploit run-time values that are not available at compile time, yielding code that is superior to statically optimal code. Unfortunately, conventional formulations of binding-time analysis prove overly restrictive in such a setting. The values computed by specialized proce...

IMPORTANCE Hemispheric specialization of the human brain is a marker of successful neurodevelopment. Altered brain asymmetry that has been repeatedly reported in schizophrenia may represent consequences of disrupted neurodevelopment in the disorder. However, a complete picture of functional specialization in the schizophrenic brain and its connectional substrates is yet to be unveiled. OBJECT...

BACKGROUND Sport specialization is a strategy to acquire superior sport performance in 1 sport but is associated with increased injury risk. Currently, the degree of high school specialization among Division I athletes is unknown. HYPOTHESIS College athletes will display increased rates of specialization as they progress through their high school careers. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive epidemiolo...

We analyze optimal financial contracts when the specificity of investments is endogenous. Specialization decreases the liquidation value of assets, but it also improves the project’s long term productivity. While the first effect is known to make financing more difficult, we show that the second effect can ease financing constraints and increase financing capacity by improving an entrepreneur’s...

Interpretation and run-time compilation techniques are increasingly important because they can support heterogeneous architectures, evolving programming languages, and dynamically-loaded code. Interpretation is simple to implement, but yields poor performance. Run-time compilation yields better performance, but is costly to implement. One way to preserve simplicity but obtain good performance i...

The authors examined conditions under which teams' educational specialization heterogeneity was positively related to team creativity. Using a sample of 75 research and development teams, the authors theorized and found that transformational leadership and educational specialization heterogeneity interacted to affect team creativity in such a way that when transformational leadership was high, ...

The fundamental updating process in the tmnsfemble belief model is related to Lhe concept of specialization and can be described by a specialization matrix. The degree of belief in the truth of a proposition is a degree of justified support. The Principle of Minimal Commitment implies that one should never give more support to the truth of a proposition than justified. We show that Dempster's r...
