medium 250 words) Many researchers agree on the basic architecture of the "world model" where knowledge about the world required for organization of agent's intelligent behavior is represented. However, most proposals on possible implementation of such a model are far from being plausible both from computational and neurobiological points of view. Implementation ideas based on distributed conne...

This paper aims to offer an applicable evaluation framework for assessing sustainable development strategies at the regional level, with a particular view on the treatment of uncertain information. After a survey of various regional sustainable development studies, several methodological issues pertaining to regional sustainability are presented and discussed, which lay the foundation for the c...

Explicitly or not, an accounting measurement system must choose whether or not to exclude, from its scope consideration, any economic activities yet to occur. We provide a model where such a scope distinction between measurements has both accounting and economic meanings. In particular, we represent measurements limited to past actions with an assets-in-place (AIP) accounting measurement in con...

In principle, the exponential of a matrix could be computed in many ways. Methods involving approximation theory, differential equations, the matrix eigenvalues, and the matrix characteristic polynomial have been proposed. In practice, consideration of computational stability and efficiency indicates that some of the methods are preferable to others but that none are completely satisfactory. Mo...
