This study investigates an approach of knowledge discovery and data mining in insufficient databases. An application of Computational Taxonomy analysis demonstrates that the approach is effective in such a data mining process. The approach is characterized by the use ot…

Performance of parallel programs is one of the reasons of their development. The process of designing and programming a parallel application is a very hard task that requires the necessary knowledge for the detection of performance bottlenecks, and the corresponding…

Classical methods for representing and reasoning with knowledge rely on the assumption that the available information is complete, certain and consistent. In real-world problems this is usually not the case, and Al has long dealt with the issue of finding…

The notion of rational agency was proposed by Russell [9] as an alternative characterization of intelligence agency. Loosely speaking, an agent is said to be rational if it perfomns the right actions according to the information it possesses and the…

In this article we will introduce certain considerations that must be taken into account while implementing the change operations of the belief change theory. The abstract models of bellief change make no considerations in respecto to the internal structures of…

This paper uses dynamic general equilibrium and computational methods, inspired by the multi-sector growth model structure in Stephen Turnovsky's work, to develop a theory that unifies two of the traditional explanations of structural change: sector-biased technical change and non-homothetic preferences.…

The objectives of the current survey study targeted the overall questionnaire-based assessment of EHR functions trialed by occupational medicine physicians, the presence of correlations between observed advantages and disadvantages of the trialed EHR as well as the intention or factors…

The work of Marshall McLuhan routinely crosses and problematizes boundaries of all sorts. Thinking about his work in terms of knowledge economies, along with their attendant protocols, circulations, and distributions, offers a way to contextualize the many contradictory claims about…
