Joint-stock cooperative company is not recognized in Commercial Code of Iran and the amendment bill of the Commercial Code adopted in 1968. This business entity has a unique description because of both being cooperative and having joint stock. It is a joint-stock company that is chartered based on Commercial Code of Iran, amendment bill of the Commercial Code adopted in 1968, and Principle 44 o...

In this paper a dynamic task allocation and controller design methodology for cooperative robot teams is presented. Fuzzy logic based utility functions are derived to quantify each robot’s ability to perform a task. These utility functions are used to allocate tasks in real-time through a limited lookahead control methodology partially based on the basic principles of discrete event supervisory...

In this study, dysfunctional cooperative learning teams are identified by comparing the Taguchi “larger-thebetter” quality index for the academic achievement of students in a cooperative learning condition with that of students in an individualistic learning condition. In performing the experiments, 42 sophomore mechanical engineering students are randomly assigned to the two learning condition...

In this work we propose the hybridization of two techniques to improve the cooperation among the fuzzy rules: the use of rule weights and the Cooperative Rules learning methodology. To do that, the said methodology is extended to include the learning of rule weights within the rule cooperation paradigm. Considering these kinds of techniques could result in important improvements of the system a...

This paper initially analyzes the methods of four attack types, including Probing, DoS (Denial of Service), R2L (Remote to Local) and U2R (User to Root). It then categorizes attacks into four cases which are, respectively, one host-one host, one host-many hosts, many hosts-one host and many hosts-many hosts. Categorization is based on resource and destination addresses of network packages. Gran...

The development of software products has become a highly cooperative and distributed activity involving working groups at geographically distinct places. These groups show an increasing mobility and a very flexible organizational structure. Process methodology and technology have to take such evolutions into account. A possible direction for the emergence of new process technology and methodolo...

Many pressing issues associated with control of cooperative intelligent systems involve challenges that arise from the difficulty of coordinating multiple task objectives in highly dynamic, unstructured environments. This chapter presents a multi-objective cooperative control methodology for a team of autonomous surface vehicles deployed with the purpose of protecting a waterway against hostile...

Recent technological advances have boosted multimedia and mobile computing. The application software market has seen an increasing interest in workjlow and Workgroup computing. These trends lead to a desire to build complex cooperative (mobile multimedia) application software. We propose a comprehensive software model and an interrelated set of jive graphical view types for the modeling of such...
