Fast growing population, excessive expansion of cities, and dominance of automobile in urban life have troubled cities with complicated traffic problems. In many parts of the world, transport network development has always been considered as a solution for this problem. Apparently, one-dimensional ‘traffic solutions’ would never thoroughly bring best results as the city and its problems are com...

building construction challenge, in recent years, is the reduction of social, economical and environmentalimpacts along with economical nature and increasing life quality, as here sustainable construction is important. pre-fabrication and industrialization are referred as a solution of sustainable construction due to some of its main characteristics consisting of many sustainability aspects. du...

context distributing health care services in remote and rural areas have become a major health problem for many developing countries. telemedicine presents solutions to developing countries for better disease prevention, disease management, emergency services and practicing medicine in areas with limited access to healthcare services and facilities. although the willingness of developing countr...

Background: Medical ethics is an interdisciplinary science that must be resolved the ethical issues with modern developments. Materials and Methods: A total of 980 infertile women that select with simple and available method from doctor Rasekh clinic and about 51 (5.2%) of them have ethical problems regarding infertility.

In this paper we take a look at the predominant form of human computer interaction as used in image retrieval, called interactive search, and discuss a new approach called artificial imagination. This approach addresses two of the grand challenges in this field as identified by the research community: reducing the amount of iterations before the user is satisfied and the small sample problem. A...

Although model-driven engineering (MDE) is now an established approach for developing complex software systems, it has not been universally adopted by the software industry. In order to better understand the reasons for this, as well as to identify future opportunities for MDE, we carried out a week-long design thinking experiment with 15 MDE experts. Participants were facilitated to identify t...

A phylogeny is a reconstruction of the evolutionary history of a group of organisms. Phylogenies are used throughout the life sciences, as they offer a structure around which to organize the knowledge and data accumulated by researchers. Computational phylogenetics has been a rich area for algorithm design over the last 15 years. The biology community has embarked on an enormously ambitious pro...

Scaling remains one of the grand challenges for AI. Lesser has been using organizational control to build multiagent systems with hundreds to thousands of intelligent agents. This approach can also be used to structure complex AI systems with extensive and heterogeneous knowledge. Organizational control is a multi-level approach in which organizational goals, roles, and responsibilities are dyn...

We show how techniques from computer science and software engineering can be applied beneficially to research in the life sciences. I will discuss the idea of comprehensive and realistic modeling of biological systems, where we try to understand and analyze an entire system in detail, utilizing in the modeling effort all that is known about it. I will address the motivation for such modeling an...
