multi-part words in english language are hyphenated and hyphen is used to separate different parts. persian language consists of multi-part words as well. based on persian morphology, half-space character is needed to separate parts of multi-part words where in many cases people incorrectly use space character instead of half-space character. this common incorrectly use of space leads to some s...

the existing works considering the flow-based discount factor in the hub and spoke problems, assume that increasing the amount of flow passing through each edge of network continuously decreases the unit flow transportation cost. although a higher volume of flow allows for using wider links and consequently cheaper transportation, but the unit of flow enjoys more discounts, quite like replacing...

This paper presents the results of a comparative study of 4-person collaborative teams working at a traditional table with pen and paper vs. a multi-touch table with digital keyboards and notepads. We compare the social behaviours of ‘giving’ and ‘taking’ during intensely collaborative teamwork, namely the differences between paper-based behaviour, digital-object based behaviour and a mixed con...

Different agents in a multiagent system might have different solution quality or preference criteria. Therefore, when solving problems collaboratively using CBR, case reuse must take this into account. In this paper we propose ABARC, a model for multiagent case reuse, which divides case reuse in two stages: individual reuse, where agents generate full solutions internally, and multiagent reuse,...

How does someone react when he faces a critical situation in his life? In this paper we present an agent-based model for simulating people’s behaviors in those particular situations. Coping strategies are at the heart of our model and we use some strategies developed in the area of psychology. We show the first step of our implementation architecture. We are currently implementing our model by ...
