This paper describes how the Organization-based Multiagent Systems Engineering (O-MaSE) methodology can be applied to an exemplar multiagent system, the Conference Management System. First, a custom process for the CMS application is created using the O-MaSE Process Framework. Then, each task identified in the O-MaSE compliant process is performed and the appropriate models are generated. For t...

This study deals with information organization for more efficient Internet document search and browsing results. As the appropriate algorithm for this purpose, this study proposes the heuristic algorithm, which functions similarly with the star clustering algorithm but performs a more efficient time complexity of O(kn),(k<<n) instead of O(n2) found in the star clustering algorithm. The proposed...

The mesh-connected computer with multiple buses (MCCMB) is a well-known parallel organization, providing broadcast facilities in each row and each column. In this paper, we propose a 2-D generalized MCCMB (2-GMCCMB) for the purpose of increasing the efficiency of executing some important applications of prefix computations such as solving linear recurrences and tridiagonal systems, etc. A klnl ...

a O s fi o t l hen Greg Carlson became CEO of a newly merged hospital, he was faced with a dilemma. How was he going to lend two cultures while maintaining moale and avoiding layoffs? Surely a dauntng task. Carlson (whose doctoral thesis xamined mortality rates for hospital-emloyed versus contract cardiac surgeons— he conclusion was in favor of employee odel), decided to create a “culture desig...

It is common to de…ne a network organization as one that is fast and ‡exible in adapting to changes in the underlying environment. But besides the short-run advantages of adaptability, fast changes in the structure of the organization can also be detrimental in the longer run. This happens because a widespread knowledge of the organization’s structure is important in channelling (and thus speed...

Among the multitude of activities of Hajj Organization which require careful planning bus assignment to the Iranian pilgrim caravans d g pilgrimage is the most important one. The objective of this assignment is to have a minimum number o standing passengers/empty seats, while satisfying a large number of operational and religious constrain. This problem was formulated as a large scale zero-one ...

-An architecture o f a neural network with assembly organization is described. Such network architecture is applied to the problem of texture segmentation in natural scenes. The network is partitioned into several subnetworks. Each subnetwork is a column structure in which features are represented by means o f "float" coding. Input data excite corresponding "floats'" o f neurons in the subnetwo...
