There is a strategy by which an automaton can examine itself to obtain a complete description of its own constituent structure. This strategy is here employed to show that machine self-reproduction by means of selfinspection is possible. Since the parent automaton structure serves as the sole model for the structure of offspring, the result shows that there is a logically consistent strategy of...

The fundamental step in measuring the robustness of a system is the synthesis of the so-called Process Map. This is generally based on the user’s raw data material. Process Maps are of fundamental importance towards the understanding of the nature of a system in that they indicate which variables are causally related and which are particularly important. This paper represent the system Map or b...

Identifying competitors for an individual company or a group of companies is important for businesses. Although people can consult paid company profile resources such as Hoover’s and Mergent, these sources are incomplete in company relationship coverage. We present an approach that uses graph-theoretic measures and machine learning techniques to achieve automated discovery of competitor relatio...

This book is dealing with some approaches to analysis of specific social networks called company networks. These company networks emerge from interactions between companies, where a lot of these interactions are recorded by publicly accessible sources. Our work is designing and implementing methods of heterogeneous sources’ cleansing, aggregation and integration into comprehensive data model of...

In running a business, every company definitely needs funds to help develop its business. The obtained can come from the itself or outside parties who invest in company. Therefore, managing existing company, it is necessary have wisdom deciding whether needed within then be used accordance with operational by itself. purpose of this study was determine and analyze effect Tax Expense, Non Debt S...

When analyzing the technology of multiple sequential reductions in concentration of parent substance we have discovered a novel physical phenomenon. It was shown that dilutions of parent substance prepared using this technology have one common peculiarity - they are capable to exert direct modifying effect on parent substance altering spatial structure of parent substance and consequently its p...

Survivable systems—that is, systems that can continue to provide service despite failures, intrusions, and other threats—are increasingly needed in a wide variety of civilian and military application areas. As a step toward realizing such systems, this paper advocates the use of redundancy and adaptation to build survivable services that can provide core functionality for implementing survivabi...
