Autonomous and Autonomic Systems: With Applications to NASA Intelligent Spacecraft Operations and Exploration Systems
In the early 1990s, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center started researching and developing autonomous and autonomic ground and spacecraft control systems for future NASA missions. This research started by experimenting with and developing expert systems to automate ground station software and reduce the number of people needed to control a spacecraft. This was followed by research into agent-based technology to develop autonomous ground c- trol and spacecraft. Research into this area has now evolved into using the concepts of autonomic systems to make future space missions self-managing and giving them a high degree of survivability in the harsh environments in which they operate. This book des...
Rare Diseases in the Age of Health 2.0
This text focuses on various factors associated with orphan diseases and the influence and role of health information technologies. Orphan diseases have not been adopted by the pharmaceutical industry because they provide little financial incentive to treat or prevent it. It is estimated that 6,000-7,000 orphan diseases exist today; as medical knowledge continues to expand, this number is likely to become much greater. The book highlights the opportunities and challenges in this increasingly important area. The book explores new avenues which are opened by information technologies and Health 2.0, and highlights also economic opportunities of orphan disease medicine. The editors of this new book have international experience and competencies in the key areas of patient empowerment, healthcare and clinical knowledge management, healthcare inequalities and disparities, rare diseases and patient advocacy.
Safety and Security in Multiagent Systems
As intelligent autonomous agents and multiagent system applications become more pervasive, it becomes increasingly important to understand the risks associated with using these systems. Incorrect or inappropriate agent behavior can have harmful - fects, including financial cost, loss of data, and injury to humans or systems. For - ample, NASA has proposed missions where multiagent systems, working in space or on other planets, will need to do their own reasoning about safety issues that concern not only themselves but also that of their mission. Likewise, industry is interested in agent systems that can search for new supply opportunities and engage in (semi-) automated negotiations over new...
Soft-Ware 2002: Computing in an Imperfect World
This was the ?rst conference of a new series devoted to the e?ective handling of soft issues in the design, development, and operation of computing systems. The conference brought together contributors from a range of relevant disciplines, including arti?cial intelligence, information systems, software engineering, and systems engineering. The keynote speakers, Piero Bonissone, Ray Paul, Sir Tony Hoare, Michael Jackson, and Derek McAuley have interests and experience that collectively span all of these ?elds. Soft issues involve information or knowledge that is uncertain, incomplete, or contradictory. Examples of where such issues arise include: – requirements management and software quali...
Dynamic Fuzzy Logic and Its Applications
Dynamic fuzzy problem are problems that are universally focused by academies. Mathematicians and cybernetic experts have used fuzzy logic to developed theories and solve static problems in so called subjective and objective worlds. This book includes 12 chapters. Chapter 1 is about basic conceptions of Dynamic Fuzzy Sets (DFS). Chapter 2 introduces Dynamic Fuzzy (DF) decomposition theorem. Chapter 3 is about L form of DFS module structure. Chapter 4 is about representation theorem of DFS. Chapter 5 introduces extension theorem of DFS. Chapter 6 is about DF measure theory. In chapter 7 it is Dynamic Fuzzy Logic (DFL). Chapter 8 is about reasoning methods of DFL. Chapter 9 is about bases of DFL programming language. Chapter 10 introduces multi-agent learning model based on DFL. Chapter 11 is about autonomic computing model based on DFL. The last Chapter introduces application of DFL in machine learning.
Impact Analysis of Solutions for Chronic Disease Prevention and Management
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Smart Homes and Health Telematics, ICOST 2012, held in Artiminio, Tuscany, Italy, June 12- 15, 2012. The 25 revised full papers presented together with 22 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 74 submissions. The papers are categorized into a number of sessions that include: User Engagement for Improved Adoption of Assistive Technologies, Self-Management and Tele-Rehabilitation, Advances in Remote Monitoring and Activity Recognition, Sensor Networks for Unobstrusive Monitoring Solutions, and Real World “Aware” Systems.
Formal Approaches to Agent-Based Systems
The 3rd Workshop on Formal Approaches to Agent-Based Systems (FAABS-III) was held at the Greenbelt Marriott Hotel (near NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) in April 2004 in conjunction with the IEEE Computer Society. The first FAABS workshop was help in April 2000 and the second in October 2002. Interest in agent-based systems continues to grow and this is seen in the wide range of conferences and journals that are addressing the research in this area as well as the prototype and developmental systems that are coming into use. Our third workshop, FAABS-III, was held in April, 2004. This volume contains the revised papers and posters presented at that workshop. The Organizing Committee was fort...
Agents and Artificial Intelligence
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence, ICAART 2013, held in Barcelona, Spain, in February 2013. The 20 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 269 submissions. The papers are organized in two topical sections on artificial intelligence and on agents.
