Regulation of social exchanges refers to controlling social exchanges between agents so that the balance of exchange values involved in the exchanges are continuously kept—as far as possible—near to equilibrium. Previous ...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the concepts of interval additive generators of interval t-norms and interval t-conorms, as interval representations of additive generators of tnorms and t-conorms, respectively, ...

The technological advances in graphics processing have provided an emerging transformation in the methods of interaction and visualization computational systems. The possibility to access, to visualize and to understand ...

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a adequação do uso do sensor AVHRR/NOAA (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) para mapeamento da temperatura da superfície terrestre ...

In this paper, we adopt Piaget’s theory of social exchanges, in which an interaction is an exchange of services between agents, such that agents assign subjective, qualitative values —called exchange values— to the actions ...

Este artigo explora o uso de métodos formais tradicionais de engenharia de software para a especificação formal de organizações de sistemas multiagentes. Particularmente são utilizadas as linguagens CSP (Communicating ...

Este trabalho apresenta a arquitetura desenvolvida para um sistema de navegação de robôs, reais e simulados, designados para inspecionar ambientes de distribuição de energia, constituídos por cabos em dutos subterrâneos. ...

Nowadays, a number of processor cores are available, either as soft intellectual property (IP) cores or as hard macros that can be employed in developing new systems on a chip. Developers of applications targeting harsh ...

Les circuits int´egr´es CMOS ont connu une ´evolution constante depuis quelques d´ecennies, mais l’arriv´ee aux dimensions nanom´etriques pose des probl`emes de plus en plus complexes. Parmi les probl`emes anticip´es, le ...

Este trabalho, dentro de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, apresenta uma proposta de metodologia para organização curricular de cursos para educação a distância, a serem ministrados pela Universidade Aberta Brasileira. ...

This paper deals with digital VLSI design aspects related to reliability. The focus is on the problem of reliability evaluation in combinational logic circuits.We present some methods for this evaluation that can be easily ...

Regulation of social exchanges refers to controlling social exchanges between agents so that the balance of exchange values involved in the exchanges are continuously kept—as far as possible—near to equilibrium. Previous ...

This article presents an approach for generating steering behaviors of groups of characters based on the space colonization algorithm that has been used in the past for generating leaf venation patterns and tree structures. ...

Este artigo introduz um modelo de percepção fuzzy para agentes BDI, com uma aplicação em uma versão fuzzy do problema presa-predador, onde o processo de decidir qual presa um predador deve atacar, com base na comparação ...

O desenvolvimento de um simulador gráfico para robôs móveis visa fornecer uma ferramenta gráfica computacional que auxilie, através de gráficos e animação, o projeto e a análise de leis de controle para robôs móveis a ...

This paper presents a case study concerning Aspect-Oriented Programming and a comparison with Object-Oriented Programming. the program used for the study combines remote methods invocation, using RMI, a distribution ...

This article shows how dialogue protocols can be used to support argumentation about the exchange values that may be involved in interactions that occur between agents, human or artificial. In consequence, the agents become ...
