Decision making, whether by an individual or a group, can be substantially enhanced by a "systems thinking" approach. Because groups are often challenged to justify thei...
This paper describes how a visual system can automatically define features of interest from the observation of a large enough number of natural images. The principle complements t...
In this paper, we develop a theory of modular design and refinement of hierarchical hybrid systems. In particular, we present compositional trace-based semantics for the language ...
In this paper, we use the exact model (or dynamical system approach) to describe the standard evolutionary algorithm (EA) as a discrete dynamical system for dynamic optimization pr...
