For groups of agents to act collaboratively, they need to recognize the need for collaboration, decide on the method to be followed for achieving goal states, assign responsibilities to subgroups and individuals, and so on, until responsibilities that can be fulfilled by individuals are reached. Aiming to support collaborative activity of humans within organized settings, this paper introduces ...

Since its formation in 2010, the Open Linguistics Working Group (OWLG) has been steadily growing and the direction the working group is heading has been clarified (although a number of issues remain open). We concentrated on the identification of goals and directions to pursue, and in this paper, we summarize results of this process, and talk about the current status of this working group as we...

Let $G$ be a group and $pi(G)$ be the set of primes $p$ such that $G$ contains an element of order $p$. Let $nse(G)$ be the set of the number of elements of the same order in $G$. In this paper, we prove that the simple group $L_2(p^2)$ is uniquely determined by $nse(L_2(p^2))$, where $pin{11,13}$‎.‎

At the request of John Spencer, this note was prepared to assess the expected impact of adopting IEEE 1471, Recommended Practice on Architectural Description on The Open Group’s Architecture Framework (TOGAF).

let be a set and let be the set of subsets of . the pair in which is a collection of elements of (blocks) is called a design if every element of appears in , times. is called a symmetric design if . in a symmetric design, each element of appears times in blocks of . a mapping between two designs and is an isomorphism if is a one-to-one correspondence and . every isomorphism of a design, , to it...

the theorem 12 in [a note on $p$-nilpotence and solvability of finite groups, j. algebra 321(2009) 1555--1560.] investigated the non-abelian simple groups in which some maximal subgroups have primes indice. in this note we show that this result can be applied to prove that the finite groups in which every non-nilpotent maximal subgroup has prime index aresolvable.
