Active messages provide an important new communication primitive for building message passing systems. CMMD, the message passing system of the CM-5, uses active messages as a basic substrate for constructing multiple, low overhead, communication paradigms. Examples are also given which show how developers may incorporate active messages in application-specific ways.

Pecularities of Decision mpicing processes on eeneo-perceptual and speech-thinking levels are described. The productive oharactes of these processes are demonstrated. One of the traditional ways of artificial intellect constructing is an analysis of real decision making processes of man and subsequent formal description of them.

We characterize Openness/Intellect as motivated cognitive flexibility, or cognitive exploration, and develop a neuropsychological model relating it to dopaminergic function and to the functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Evidence is reviewed for sources of Openness/Intellect shared with Extraversion and sources unique to Openness/Intellect. The hypothesis that the cognitive functions of th...

The current project investigated why people with high levels of Openness/Intellect tend to have higher levels of cognitive functioning than people with lower levels of Openness/Intellect. We hypothesized that the positive relationship between Openness/Intellect and cognition might be attributable to more open people being more likely to engage in cognitively stimulating activities that are bene...

A debated topic in Avicennan psychology is whether for Avicenna abstraction is a metaphor for emanation or to be taken literally. This issue stemsion is a metaphor for emanation or to be taken literally. This issue stems from the deeper philosophical question of whether humans acquire intelligibles externally from an emanation by the Active Intellect, which is a separate substance, or internall...
