the current study aimed to define some factors contributing to implicit attitude formation mainly in the social interaction context. an agent-based computer simulation of a society including autonomous agents and an attitude object was used to track the implicit attitude progress towards the object. the society could simulate the autonomic behaviors. we provided a complex adaptive system and ob...

This paper proposes a new dialogue management architecture for human-machine speech communication systems. In our daily speech communication, incremental, non-deterministic and quick-response behaviors are required for effortless information interchange. Emergent computational architectures, proposed in the robot control domain, are promising to enable such features. The dialogue manager (ECL-D...

This report addresses the research progress towards enabling millimeter-wave full-duplex wireless communication. Millimeter-wave technology has gained significant interest for short-range wireless personal area networks (WPANs), vehicular radar and next generation (5G) cellular communication in the recent years. Full-duplex is another emergent technology which can theoretically double the data ...

We present a model consisting of an emergent procedure for n unpiloted, autonomous flying munitions to cooperatively conduct a parallel sweeping search of a geographic area for specific targets. The control of the unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) is decentralized and follows the reactive, behavior-based design philosophy. Global communication is not available to the UAVs; rather, they rely on passi...

The purpose of this paper is to outline a methodology for figuring out what types of information shall be shared via strategic level communication to support cyber-security. With this methodology the key development issues required to create relevant strategic messages can be sorted out. The paper follows the system modeling approach and considers the cyber world as a complex adaptive system. F...

The emergent behaviour of a multiagent system depends on the component agents and how they interact. A critical part of interaction between agents is communication. This paper presents a multi-agent communication model for physical moving agents, robots. The scope of the paper emphasises the interaction relationships between individual components in multi-agents system that results in economica...

The plurality of healthcare providers and funders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) has given rise to an era in which health partnerships are becoming the norm in international development. Whether mandated or emergent, three common drivers are essential for ensuring successful health partnerships: trust; a diverse and inclusive network; and a clear governance structure. Mandated and ...
