— Standard methods to model multibody systems are aimed at systems with configuration spaces isomorphic to Rn . This limitation leads to singularities and other artifacts in cas...
A universal spatial automaton, called WAVE, for highly parallel processing in arbitrary distributed systems is described. The automaton is based on a virus principle where recursi...
Information quality assurance despite the existence of uncertainty about sources can be investigated in the context of soft security where an agent maintains trustworthiness evalu...
