Os meios de Murashige e Skoog, Hoagland, Arnon e White, suplementados ou não com sacarose, e tendo como substratos vermiculita, ágar ou natrosol foram utilizados para avaliar seus efeitos sobre o desenvolvimento da batata doce, c.v. White Star, e sua…

In this paper, a method for representing scalar functions on volumes is presented. The method is based on wavelets and it can be used for representing volumetric data (geometric or scalar) defifined on non structured grids. The basic contribution is…

Standard hardware, dedicated microcontroller or application specific circuits can implement fuzzy logic or neural network controllers. This paper presents efficient architecture approaches to develop controllers using specific circuits. A generator uses several tools that allow translating the initial problem specification…

The objective of this research is to develop a tool for the generation of 3D objects modeled with flexible materials, with visco-elastic or inelastic characteristics, similar to the plasticine. It is desirable to prioritize the simplicity of the interface with…

A large quantity of data of different types and priorities pass through on high-speed networks. A relevant part of these data, like continuous media (audio, video, and so), need a control of its Quality of Service (QoS). This paper describes…

This paper describes a new classification method (DER) based on evidential reasoning to which a series of modifications are added [1]. DER allows including new evidence for the classification process and defines a different decision rule. The evidential reasoning algorithm…

Q-Learning is a Reinforcement Learning method for solving sequential decision problems, where the utility of actions depends on a sequence of decisions and there exists uncertainty about the dynamics of the environment the agent is situated on. This general framework…

In several applications, the trajectory of an entity, a feature or an object has to be tracked over a sequence of image frames. When the processing is to be performed in real time, there are important constraints leading to the…

Guaranteeing that assembled components will behave as required is one of the main aspects in working with Component-Based Development. In this paper we present a formal approach for tackling this problem by applying the concept of bisimulation, originally presented in…

Negotiation is a basic mechanism for interaction that allows the members in a Multiagent System to coordinate their actions and to reach a favorable agreement. When agents are collaborative, the negotiation process progresses through a dialogue in which proposals and…
