The Moment Recursion (MR) models are a class of models for tactical planning of job shops or other processing networks. The MR model can be used to determine or approximate the first two moments of production quantities and queue lengths…

The design of a pop-up book or card has hitherto been labour intensive with tasks of trials and errors. The constructions of collapsible pop-up structures can be demanding and inefficient without adequate knowledge of their geometric properties. This paper examines…

We examine a knowledge representation architecture to support context interchange
mediation. For autonomous receivers and sources sharing a common subject domain,
the mediator's reasoning engine can devise query plans integrating multiple sources and
resolving semantic heterogeneity. Receiver…

This paper presents a knowledge-based approach for capturing data and rationale, so
that the experience and insights gained while pursuing a major project or endeavor can
be utilized when pursuing future endeavors of a similar nature. The proposed

The computational metaphor which proposes the comparison of processes of mind to realizable or imaginable computer activities suggests a number of educational concerns. This paper discusses some of those concerns including procedural modes of knowledge representation and control knowledge ??owing…

This paper deals with the "Calculus of Knowledge", an extension of the propositional calculus in which one may reason about what other people know. Semantic and Syntactic systems are developed, certain theorems are proven, and a formal solution in the…

A transmitter antenna array has the ability to direct data simultaneously to multiple
receivers within a wireless network, creating potential for a more integrated view of
algorithmic system components. In this thesis, such a perspective informs the design
of two…
