In order to construct improved maps of marine gravity anomalies, we have developed and tested retracking methods for determining sea surface slopes from radar altimeter return waveforms collected by the Jason-1 mission. The accuracy of marine gravity models derived from satellite altimetry depends mainly on two factors: first, the density of ground tracks covered by the mission, and second, the...

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) has evolved towards the specification of global constraints that heterogeneous and autonomous agents are supposed to follow when concerning open systems. A subset of these constraints is known as the MAS organisation. This article describes a set of computational tools that supports the development and the programming of such systems. At the system level, it is provide...

We introduce the book with the title of “Nature of Computation and Communication” edited by Prof. Phan Cong Vinh, Dr. Emil Vassev and Prof Mike Hinchey, and published by Springer in 2015 to scientists, researchers, professionals and students in the field of computing. Hopefully, they will find this book provoking for their research related to hot topics of computing and being useful to their fu...

This paper examines Jason Stanley’s account of propaganda. I begin with an overview and some questions about the structure of that account. I then argue for two main conclusions. First, I argue that Stanley’s account over-generalizes, by counting mere incompetent argumentation as propaganda. But this problem can be avoided, by emphasizing the role of emotions in effective propaganda more than S...

This paper explores the locally-produced meaning-making practices of video game players, taking the position that the contingent properties of situated actions play a significant role in the construction of meaning. The participants of this study are Asian adolescents from China, currently studying in New York City, who play video games after school. There are four participants in the following...
