This paper presents one step toward creating the building blocks for machine intelligence that is inspired by its biological equivalent. The authors' quantum learning methods (deep quantum learning) are applied to quantum devices whose quantum bit (q-bit) activity is deliberately chosen to mimic the spiking behavior of biological neurons. Because of the "quantum" scale of these computers,...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to modify neural excitability. The effectiveness of TMS experiments critically depends on precise TMS coil position and orientation. There are many TMS coil positioning methods have been used to optimal TMS efficiency. But, sometimes these data are not always precise, and it will make the results uncertainty. To...
This paper contains an original classification of the 5G wholesale services and a novel proposal for the respective pricing schemes for these services. Motivated by the envisioned 5G customer services, this paper introduces the services that need to be offered, orchestrated and traded among infrastructure and service providers, so that end-to-end 5G services can be efficiently orchestrated and provisioned...
Models are the cornerstone of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE). Their size is constantly growing, becoming one of the main problems when it comes to manipulating them, via model-to-model transformations, model-to-text transformations or simply parsing them. In this paper we propose a way of distributing Ecore models representing them as JSON and URLs as identifiers, since HTTP is one of the most successful...
Virtual worlds and avatar-based interactive computer games are a hype among consumers and researchers for many years now. In recent years, such games on mobile devices also became increasingly important. However, most virtual worlds require the use of proprietary clients and authoring environments and lack portability, which limits their usefulness for targeting wider audiences like e.g. in consumer...
In recent years, that researchers in psycho-social fields classify the personalities according to different criterias, is one of the most interesting studies. In the viewpoint of the artificial intelligence researches, it is considered that analyzing the personalities will provide achieving realistic character modellings and realizing more intelligent systems via engineering disiplines in future....
By mimicking the mechanics of natural life in the computer environment, artificial life brings out new information about life as well as contributing to the engineering fields. This article introduces a multi-agent based simulation environment in which artificial life studies can be carried out, and presents the preliminary results of our biologically inspired intelligent behaviour synthesis study...
This paper presents preliminary results for motion behavior analysis of Madagascar hissing cockroach biobots subject to stochastic and periodic neurostimulation pulses corresponding to randomly applied right and left turn, and move forward commands. We present our experimental setup and propose an unguided search strategy based stimulation profile designed for exploration of unknown environments....
Social context is important to a variety of significant applications such as business intelligence, public security and epidemic. For example, companies can refine the advertisement strategy by targeting the influential people within the social group. Social context modelling and recognition is an emerging research area which aims to infer the information that characterizes multiple users such as...
An important problem in the field of bioinformaties is to identify interactive effects among profiled variables for outcome prediction. In this paper, a simple logistic regression model with pairwise interactions among a set of binary covariates is considered. Modeling the structure of the interactions by a graph, our goal is to recover the interaction graph from independently identically distributed...
Computers have become an inherent part in everyday life due to its power of automated and fast computing. With the discovery of transistors in 1947 at Bell Labs, era of electronic computing started, that took a new shape with Moore's law in 1965. Even with its wide applicability, this electronic computing has a disadvantage of executing all instructions sequentially. Hence for problems requiring exhaustive...
Modeling and Simulation methods have been used to better analyze the behavior of complex physical systems and it is now common to use simulation as a part of the scientific and technological discovery process. Formal M&S proved to be successful in providing a sound base for the development of discrete-event simulation models, improving the ease of model definition and enhancing application development...
To diminish the digital divide in remote areas, the Ministry of Education in Taiwan initiates the I-Taiwan Projects, providing a digital tutoring program with the platform for synchronously teaching and learning. The program recruited and trained college and university students for online teaching of elementary and junior high school students living in remote towns and villages. Despite the great...
Detecting metamodel atomic changes during evolution is prerequisite for co-evolution of models, constraints, and transformations. They are also essential to detect complex changes over the sequence of atomic ones. However when detecting atomic changes with a difference-based technique, the applied order of the atomic changes is not recovered and some hidden changes are undetected. Thus, the quality...
Access control is regarded as absolutely crucial in any environment, especially in home and work environments where sensitive resources are accessed. In this paper, we propose a non-contact, gesture-based authentication alternative to password authentication. The solution focuses on capturing specific graphical information, in the form of patterns drawn in the air, as a means of authentication. The...
Gene regulatory networks are the complex dynamical structures that orchestrate the activities of biological cells. Inappropriate dynamical behaviours, caused by mutations or environmental perturbations, can lead to disease. Control interventions, for example in the form of therapeutic drugs, can lead to recovery from disease. In this paper, we consider how Boolean networks can be used to control a...
In this paper, the innovative approach to extraction of the real size of the human body is presented. The prototype device for such extraction process is designed, implemented and tested on larger sample of subjects. The principal goal is the proposal of a solution for creation of exact skeletal human body model. Model dimensions may be further used in numerous use-cases, such as 3D modelling, clothing...
Based on the Kinect deep camera scanning human body, use multiple somatosensory sensor scanning to establish human body model, select characteristics points of human body and establish human body characteristics curve. Use the algorithm of curve computer to quickly collect 3D data of human body to adjust the needs of clothes development and development of human modeling technology. The required space...
Cyber culture of virtual-macro-micro-computing, which formulates, explains and predicts the current processes and phenomena monitoring and control technology in the physical and virtual space is proposed. The verbal and structural definitions of the main types of computing, based on current trends evolution of planet cyber ecosystem are represented. The universal model of MAT-computing: <Memory,...
The implementation of Management Information Systems (MIS) in educational management and administration is a relatively innovative field which is rapidly evolving because of its high efficiency and effectiveness. There is a relatively small number of research studies reported in the literature evaluating MIS implementations in universities. This case study focuses on the post-implementation evaluation...
