To comply with all these requirements two measures are proposed. The underlaying software concept is founded on a component based approach [2], which is faster than classical agent systems to guarantee reactivity and enables easier distribution than conventional object oriented approaches whose scalability ends at the one computer border. To fulfil all of the above requirements the ”Service Pri...

Throughout the natural and artificial world one observes phenomena of great complexity. Yet research in physics and to some extent biology and other fields has shown that the basic components of many systems are quite simple. It is now a crucial problem for many areas of science to elucidate the mathematical mechanisms by which large numbers of such simple components, acting together, can produ...

In recent years, several emerging technologies in modern radar system design are attracting the attention of radar researchers and practitioners alike, noteworthy among which are multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO), ultra wideband (UWB) and joint communication-radar technologies. This thesis, in particular focuses upon a cognitive approach to design these modern radars. In the existing litera...

Do connectionist and dynamic-systems models converge on a unified theory? The answer depends on the kind of mechanism that the two models attempt to unravel. Two views of mechanism avail themselves to contemporary scientists. One view of mechanism represents cognitive activity as reducible to a cognitive architecture of separate cognitive components. Another view sees cognitive activity as emer...

For embodied agents that interact with people in time-sensitive applications, such as robot assistants or autonomous characters in video games, effectiveness can depend on responsive and adaptive behavior in dynamic environments. To support such behavior, agents’ cognitive and physical systems can be modeled in a single, shared language of dynamical systems, an integrated design that supports p...

I begin with a representative example of a contemporary scientific activity, observations using the Hubble Space Telescope, and ask what approaches within the cognitive sciences seem most fruitful as aids in developing an overall account of this sort of scientific activity. After presenting the Hubble Space Telescope System and a recent result, I consider applying a standard computational parad...

This paper is part of a larger project to determine how to build agent-based cognitive models capable of initial associative intelligence. Our method here is to take McClelland’s 1981 “Jets and Sharks” dataset and rebuild it using a nonlinear dynamic system with an eye toward determining which parameters are necessary to govern the interactivity of agents in a multi-agent cognitive system. A fe...
