Building these approaches, together with work mediating role played artefacts thought, this p...

Inspired by adaptive possibilities of agents in multi-agents system, we have developed the new concept of modular artefacts using intelligent building blocks (I-BLOCKS) [1]. This paper describes early a scientific research related to technical design, inheritable development and evaluation of a concept of neighborhood information awareness among I-BLOCKS allowing users to develop modular system...

A software system is composed of a variety of artefacts, which are products of the various activities involved in the development process. In practice, software artefacts evolve at different paces and modifications applied to one artefact may not necessarily get reflected in other related artefacts. This differential evolution of software artefacts may result in synchronisation issues and incon...

Activation of the left ventral premotor cortex (PMv) has in previous imaging studies been associated with the processing of visually presented artefacts. It has been suggested that this activation reflects processing of action knowledge and that action knowledge contributes to the comprehension of artefacts. The purpose of the present study was to test whether activation of the left PMv is comm...
