The dynamical systems approach is becoming increasingly important in cognitive science and robotics. In this perspective an agent and its environment are modeled as two coupled dynamical systems and cognitive activity arises from the history of interactions between the agent’s internal dynamics, its body morphodynamical properties and its environment [1, 2]. Recent advances in this field were p...

This paper sets out to present a novel construal of one of the notions of Vygotskian cultural-historical theory viz., zone of proximal development (ZPD) drawing upon dynamic systems theory. The principal thesis maintains that ZDP is an emergent and dynamic system which is engendered by a dialectical concatenation of psychogenesic and sociogenesic facets of human development over time. It is rea...

efficiency of numerical methods is an important problem in dynamic nonlinear analyses. it is possible to use of numerical methods such as beta-newmark in order to investigate the structural response behavior of the dynamic systems under random sea wave loads but because of necessity to analysis the offshore systems for extensive time to fatigue study it is important to use of simple stable meth...

Research carried out so far has failed to establish systematic learning benefits of animated graphics over static ones, even in the case of dynamic systems. We hypothesize that animation promotes the understanding of dynamic systems if delivery features decrease the perceptual and cognitive load of processing the animation. We therefore report an experimental study investigating the effects of ...

Cognitive radio networks and communications is an emergent paradigm to address the spectrum scarcity challenge in the wireless community. Currently, different wireless systems are regulated by a fixed spectrum assignment strategy. This policy partitions the whole spectrum into a large number of different ranges. Each piece is exclusively used by a specific wireless system. This leads to an unde...

The allocation of tasks to humans and machines in complex systems is discussed from three perspectives. Systems engineering as manifested in the design of flexible manufacturing systems, organization design as applied to decision making teams that monitor and control engineering systems, and cognitive ergonomics are the three perspectives used. The limitations of fixed task allocations are arti...
