Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
A critical issue for complex component-based systems design is the modeling and analysis of architecture. One of the complicating factors in developing architectural models is acc...
Basically, instrumental conditioning is learning through consequences: Behavior that produces positive results (high “instrumental response”) is reinforced, and that which pro...
Nowadays, many commercial CAD systems are built on proprietary geometric kernels which provide an API containing a set of high level geometric operations (boolean operations, slot...
