Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are of great interest as they can be used to model complex phenomena that involve several actors that interact in various ways. This paper describes a framework to support the development of Multi-Agent Systems. The framework is based on the Reaction Diffusion Machine (RDM) and defines the runtime support for the L*MASS language. The language formalizes the concepts of...

This discussion paper describes a new and comprehensive model for diagnosing the causes of individual medical performance problems: SKIPE (skills, knowledge, internal, past and external factors). This builds on a previous paper describing a unifying theory of clinical practice, the RDM-p model, which captures the primary skill sets required for effective medical performance (relationship, diagn...

The purpose of this study was to examine research data management (RDM) in Kenya's agricultural institutes with the view proposing interventions improve management, sharing, and reuse output. objectives were twofold: assess status determine legal policy framework, ICT infrastructure, human capital available facilitate RDM institutes. findings revealed that framework did not exist surveyed; poli...

In the paper, a problem of real-time input design, where spectral characteristic external excitation signal is optimized considering fixed bound on ellipsoidal constraint applied to quality measure estimated model, has been presented. We designed compensator close complementary sensitivity function such that resulting closed-loop system stable and guarantees robust performance. The contribution...

this study builds on laufer and hulstijn’s (2001) motivational-cognitive construct of task-induced involvement in learning vocabulary and addresses itself to its strong claim that the depth of processing is the overriding factor in learning words. the paper first re-examines the effect of processing load and then of task type on the initial learning and retention of words. to do so, 60 efl lear...

Relational data model defines a specification of a type "relation". However, its simplicity does not mean that the system implementing this model must operate with structures having the same simplicity. We consider two principles allowing create a system which combines object-oriented paradigm (OOP) and relational data model (RDM) in one framework. The first principle -"complex data in encapsul...

Maker Networks indicate how society organizes itself to overcome significant challenges, such as the lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) observed during COVID-19 pandemic. We analyze initiatives that produced PPE for frontline health staff propose design guidelines implementing RDM-Maker Networks: networks people and organizations in Movement collaboratively produce goods or services or...

in this article, we will estimate efficiency amountof decision-making unit by offering the continuous piecewise polynomialextrapolation and interpolation by ccr model input-oriented on the assumptionthat it is constant returns to scale in different times. and finally, we willestimate efficiency amount of decision-making unit indifferent times byoffering an example.

A wireless multi-hop ad hoc network consists of a collection of nodes, which can communicate without any fixed base stations or networking infrastructure. Multi-hop ad hoc networks are ideally suited in areas such as sensor networking, community networking and networking used in emergency situations. Since transmission is wireless and nodes could be mobile, ad hoc networks bring about new chall...

The ranked discrepancy model (RDM) is a relatively novel needs assessment approach and optimized for addressing ordinal non-normally distributed data. This study aimed to explore the viability of RDM by comparing results obtained from it with those using two other long-standing models, prioritize learning secondary school career guidance teachers in South Korea as an initial effort improve pre-...
