BACKGROUND The concept of a rational respectively emotional acceptance of disease is highly valued in the treatment of patients with depression or addiction. Due to the importance of this concept for the long-term course of disease, there is a strong interest to develop a tool to identify the levels and factors of acceptance. We thus intended to test an instrument designed to assess the level o...

Numerous applications can be formulated as an instance of resource allocation problems. Different kinds of solving techniques have been investigated, but the theoretical results cannot always be applied in practice due to inappropriate assumptions. Indeed, in these studies, agents are most of the time omniscient and/or have complete communication abilities. These hypotheses are not satisfied re...

Dependable cyber-physical systems strive to deliver anticipative, multi-objective performance anytime, facing deluges of inputs with varying and limited resources. This is even more challenging for life-long learning rational agents as they also have to contend with the varying and growing know-how accumulated from experience. These issues are of crucial practical value, yet have been only marg...

Web-based and Internet technologies are constantly being developed, evolving new ways of working, teaching, and learning for a broader range of professional and social groups. In a landscape of technology innovations, teacher professional development should try to capitalize on modern internet-based tools and services, better known as Web 2.0 and virtual worlds, in an effort to meet the increas...

This paper proposes some new software metrics that can be applied to UML modelling elements like classes and messages. These metrics can be used to predict various characteristics at the earlier stages of the software life cycle. A CASE tool is developed on top of Rational Rose using its BasicScript language and we provide some examples using it.

NURB (Non Uniform Rational B-spline) curves and surfaces are being used to solve curve and surface tting problems i.e. where a sequence (or an array) of points is given and then one can nd a NURB curve (or an surface) that interpolates to the given data. In general one has to provide additional information, called end conditions to solve the system of equations in the NURB interpolation problem...
