background: the number of people aged 60 and older is increasing faster than other age groups worldwide. iran will experience a sharp aging population increase in the next decades, and this will pose new challenges to the healthcare system. since providing high quality aged-care services would be the major concern of the policymakers, this question arises that what types of aged care services s...

We propose a probabilistic, energy-aware, broadcast calculus for the analysis of mobile ad-hoc networks. The semantics of our model is expressed in terms of Segala’s probabilistic automata driven by schedulers to resolve the nondeterministic choice among the probability distributions over target states. We develop a probabilistic observational congruence and a energy-aware preorder semantics. T...

The friendship information of Rochester Institute of Technology students was collected through a custom Facebook survey. A social network was then constructed using that friendship data. The RIT Facebook network will provide a target network to which randomly simulated networks will be calibrated in order to repeatedly conduct Monte Carlo experiments on rumor propagation through a social networ...

IP networks are now well established. However, control, management and optimization schemes are provided in a static and basic way. Network control and management with intelligent software agents offers a new way to master quality of service, security and mobility management. This new paradigm allows a dynamic and intelligent control of the equipment in a local manner, a global network control ...

This paper presents a study of identification and validation data-driven models for the description acid gas treatment process, key step flue cleaning in waste-to-energy plants. The removal line an Italian plant, based on injection hydrated lime, Ca(OH)2, abatement hydrogen chloride, HCl, is investigated. final goal to minimize feed rate reactant needed achieve required HCl performance, also re...

Recently, ubiquitous decision support systems become more popular in many applications. However, the campus life planning area has remained untouched in the decision support literature. Moreover, the potentials of context prediction in lieu of context awareness systems were rarely explored in previous studies of the ubiquitous decision support systems. In this sense, this study proposes the sys...

This paper investigates how the diversity of the population affects the propagation of a rumour. Mathematical models of rumour have only recently begun to consider the social network by which the interlocutors are connected. If the outgroup minority is very poorly integrated do they have a greater probability of resisting a derogatory rumor or is it better for the minority to be well mixed in t...
