description of the domain In a hierarchical (quad-trees) representation, the level of abstraction corresponds to a certain coarse grid in which every position, , is an abstraction of a 2 !#" 2 ! matrix of base-level positions. Each high level position has a certain degree of “obstacleness” associated with it which is simply the proportion of the matrix that is covered by obstacles. A general po...

High efficient routing is an important issue for the design of wireless sensor network (WSN) protocols to meet the severe hardware and resource constraints. This paper presents an inclusive evolutionary reinforcement method. The proposed approach is a combination of Cellular Automata (CA) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) techniques in order to create collision-free trajectories for every agent...

This study investigates how people conduct elaboration and develops confidence in healthcare and travel knowledge in Yahoo! Kimo Knowledge+, the most popular online question-answering community in Taiwan. A context analysis based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model shows that people seeking for healthcare knowledge rely on both central route and peripheral route cues to choose best knowledge (a...

This paper discusses the use of mobile applications in knowledge management (mobile KM). Today more and more people leave (or have to leave) their fixed working environment in order to conduct their work at changing locations or while they are on the move. At the same time mobile work is getting more and more knowledge-intensive. However the issue of mobile work and knowledge management is an a...

The spatial organization of the genome plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression. Recent experimental techniques like Hi-C have emphasized the segmentation of genomes into interaction compartments that constitute conserved functional domains participating in the maintenance of a proper cell identity. Here, we propose a novel method, IC-Finder, to identify interaction compartment...
