Constraint satisfaction programming (CSP) has been successfully used in model-driven development (MDD) for solving a wide range of (combinatorial) problems. In CSP, declarative constraints capture restrictions over variables with finite domains where both the number of variables and their domains are required to be a priori finite. However, the existing formulation of constraint satisfaction pr...

We present the Multivariable Fuzzy Temporal Profile model (MFTP), a formal model which allows us to represent signal patterns and identify their occurrences over the temporal evolution of a set of physical parameters. The pattern comprises a set of findings, each one of which may, in turn, be a pattern, so that its recognition is organized into a hierarchy of abstraction levels, and ultimately ...

We have previously reported a Bayesian algorithm for determining the coordinates of points in three­ dimensional space from uncertain constraints. This method is useful in the determination of biological molecular structure. It is limited, however, by the requirement that the uncertainty in the constraints be normally distributed. In this paper, we present an extension of the original algorithm...

today, electronic banking has essential role in banking industry. challenges facing banking industry led to banks make to use electronic banking and delivery services and products throughout electronic banking. moreover, they are trying to understand their customers' needs and everyday increase service quality throughout electronic banking. this research tries to investigate effect of cust...

objective: in order to find how rating the whoqol-bref and dass scales are combined to produce an overall measure of quality of life and satisfaction with health rating, a qol-dass model was designed; and the strength of this hypothesized model was examined using the structural equation modeling. method: participants included a sample of 103 voluntary males who were divided into two groups of u...

what id basic in this article is that motivation is very important for managers to understand, since managers must channel people's motivation, so they will achieve personal and organizational goals, however, people's abilities and role perception are also important factors in how well they will perform. in this article we have followed the evolution path of the motivational theories ...

objective: the main aim of the current survey was to evaluate a hypothesized model on subjective quality of life (sqol), and to survey the role of scale anchoring on satisfaction and dissatisfaction ratings. method: the sample consisted of 456 volunteering students who were randomly assigned in to two different conditions, and rated their current overall life (dis)satisfaction and their (dis)sa...
