The asynchronous systems are the models of the asynchronous circuits from the digital electrical engineering. An asynchronous system f is a multi-valued function that assigns to each admissible input u : R → {0, 1}m a set f(u) of possible states x ∈ f(u), x : R → {0, 1}n. A special case of asynchronous system consists in the existence of a Boolean function Υ : {0, 1}n × {0, 1}m → {0, 1}n such t...

In present paper, I propose a method for resolving the timing delays for output signals from an asynchronous sequential system. It will be used an example of an asynchronous sequential system that will set up an output signal when an input signal will be set up. The width of the output signal depends on the input signal width, and in this case it is very short. There are many synthesis methods,...

Recent work in Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993, McCarthy and Prince 1993, to appear) has suggested that phonological regularities can be explained without reference to phonological rules, strictly in terms of constraints on representational wellformedness. A unique aspect of Optimality Theory (OT) is that candidates are evaluated in parallel: there is no serial derivation. Given th...

Ausgehend von Thomas Nagels Aufsatz " What is it like to be a bat? " und Alan Turings Aufsatz " Computing machinery and intelligence " wird argumentiert, das eine erfolgreiche Interaktion von Menschen und autonomen artifiziellen Agenten vor allem darauf beruht, welche Eigenschaften Menschen jenen Agenten zuschreiben und nicht so sehr, ob diese Agenten jene Eigenschaften wirklich besitzen. Diese...

Alan Turing begins his 1950 Mind article, “Computing Machinery and Intelligence,” with the following straightforward pronouncement: “I propose to consider the question ‘Can machines think?’ ” He quickly (too quickly?) argues for “replacing” the original question with another “which is closely related to it and is expressed in relatively unambiguous words.” (Please note the vagueness of the clai...

This paper outlines the iterative stages involved in designing and developing a blended course of English for General Academic Purposes (EGAP) at Osaka University. First, the basic Successive Approximation Model (SAM 1) is introduced as the guiding instructional design model upon which the course was created. Afterward, the stages of design and development of the blended course are explained wi...

The asynchronous systems are the models of the asynchronous circuits from the digital electrical engineering and non-anticipation is one of the most important properties in systems theory. Our present purpose is to introduce several concepts of non-anticipation of the asynchronous systems.
