Research on agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) methodologies and multi-agent system (MAS) infrastructures has developed in the last years along two opposite paths: while AOSE methodologies have essentially undergone a top-down evolution pushed by contributions from heterogeneous fields like human sciences, MAS infrastructures have mostly followed a bottom-up path growing from existing a...

in recent years, formal methods have been used as an important tool for performance evaluation and verification of a wide range of systems. in the view points of engineers and practitioners, however, there are still some major difficulties in using formal methods. in this paper, we introduce a new formal modeling language to fill the gaps between object-oriented programming languages (oopls) us...

there are many evident that people are more interested in walking in attractive urban spaces and inappropriate physical and psychological condition can reduce their presence in a remarkable amount. the current research investigates the influence of physical design and psychological elements and their criteria on selective physical activity and specifically walking in urban public spaces. howeve...

In response to Kobele et al. (2012), we evaluate four ways of linking the processing difficulty of sentences to the behavior of the top-down parser for Minimalist grammars developed in Stabler (2012). We investigate the predictions these four metrics make for a number of relative clause constructions, and we conclude that at this point, none of them capture the full range of attested patterns.

The aim of the COCOON project is to investi gate the design of an object oriented data model with main emphasis on e cient implementation of queries and updates While the nested rela tional kernel of DASDBS is the target physical storage system for COCOON the model is also implemented on top of commercial database sys tems as rst prototypes and to analyze feasibility and compare performance Thi...

some western scholars of shiite studies believe thatthe chief principle of justice in twelver shia islam or imamiyyah is rooted in mo’tazalediscourse while this principle has its roots in imam ali’s (as) theoretical and practical instructions. justice in imam ali’s view has an epistemological status which initiates from allah’s justice attribute; then it streams in cosmology; and after all it i...

functions in landscape design include values in design and management process to satisfy moral and environmental needs that current attitudes see that as open space design by natural and man-made elements, while the basic intellectual layers related to human as the principles of environmental design have been forgotten. human urban knowledge seeks to meet in health, biological, psychological, s...

Background: The most fundamental step in the development of a curriculum is to determine the educational needs. This study aims to identify the educational needs from the viewpoint of students and faculty members of health-associated disciplines in order to develop an entrepreneurship-based curriculum. Methods: The study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of method. ...
