Indeed, an individual with self-control ability is one who can prioritize his/her goals and keep a balance between his/her emotions and thoughts. The purpose of this study was to compare self-control and behavioral activation and prevention systems in both normal and blind...

Formal behavioral models of software services are used as input by analysis tools which check their properties on hand of the given models. However, there is a gap between the real systems which have to be validated and their abstract models. This work proposes to bridge this gap by tools which extract behavioral models from software services implementations. The method proposed here aims at en...

Energy management mechanisms in resource constrained environments such as mobile systems are typically based on the current status of various system parameters such as utilization and quality of service requirements. Any knowledge gained about future system resource usage and other significant dynamics in the system can further lead to increased optimizations in such mechanisms. Future knowledg...

Control structures for physical robots can be evolved in simulated and physical environments. In this study, the interleaving of simulated and physical environments during the course of the evolution of a control structure was examined. This method was compared to the method of ‘fine tuning’ in a physical environment a control structure that has evolved in complete simulation. Interleaving phys...
