In this paper we evaluate through an experiment the influence of the size of the episodic memory of a creative agent in the surprise-value of its products. We describe briefly the architecture of a creative agent which integrates a model of surprise. Within this architecture, surprise is used both to guide the agent’s creative process and to evaluate products. Such a model of surprise depends h...

the islamic period of the iranian history suggests that the development of the shiite art is an outcome of a continuous interaction and struggle between the political systems dominated in iran and the shiite beliefs system. historically, the situation of the shiite, as a resistance movement, has gradually changed to an established religion with its own theology. in other words, when the shiite ...

Many organizations migrate their on-premise software systems to the cloud. However, current coarse-grained cloud migration solutions have made a transparent migration of on-premise applications to the cloud a difficult, sometimes trial-and-error based endeavor. This paper suggests a catalogue of fine-grained service-based cloud architecture migration patterns that target multi-cloud settings an...

Many demands in engineering software, including legal, privacy, cost and technical issues influence the deployment of the software. With cloud computing, applications can be deployed in a provider cloud as an alternative to on-premises infrastructure. Thus, software should be ready for local or provider cloud deployment or a hybrid (mixed) setup. For the user of the application, the location of...

The importance of using visual social media as the digital learning and inspiration resources in architecture is blatantly obvious. On the contrary, there are still gaps in the position of those platforms in the elements of creativity and performance within design studios. The major research question is how does the architecture students' use of architectural content on Instagram relate to thei...

Nature is an essential source of inspiration for designers with the variety biological and complex organic forms it includes. Such a variation difficult to capture conventional design methods. Knowledge advanced digital tools parametric modeling, in particular, crucial finding new way solve problems help creativity innovation design. The present research has stressed importance modeling use des...
