Training is crucial for improvement of the capabilities of both military and non-military personnel. In this paper, we argue for the need of conceptual modelling for the creation of training scenarios. this research proposes a particular method for developing training scenarios for complex domains based on agent-oriented modelling. the advantage of agent-oriented modelling is that it enables to describe a problem domain from three balanced and interrelated aspects - interaction, information, and behaviour, and at three abstraction layers: analysis, design, and simulation. thus, we can obtain agent-directed simulations for elaborating selected aspects of emergent behaviour to support development of practical training scenarios in a partially known environment.

We report our experience of including the implementation of a player of a computer game as a programming project in a CS2 course focusing in data structures and algorithms. Every semester, an instructor designs the rules of a game, prepares its visualization, and implements an elementary player with a very simple strategy. the game is then delivered to students who, as a first step in order to pass the project, must program a player that wins the elementary player. then, a tournament begins among all the students with accepted players. At every round of this tournament a player is eliminated until just one player, the champion, survives. Grades for this assignment are computed automatically and increasingly with respect to the round where students have been eliminated. the result is a fun and very motivating programming experience for our students.

the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a multi-criteria decision-making approach aimed at reflecting a human's subjective judgment or vagueness. the conventional evaluation in AHP is considered to be a kind of utility. However, there are some cases where the traditional utility theory cannot explain risk aversion. this paper presents a new decision-making methodology for considering risk evaluation. We propose the hierarchy model that contains return and risk categories, and an AHP method that applies prospect theory, which is able to explain people's decisions when they face situations involving risks. therefore, by proposing an AHP method that utilizes it, we enable the evaluation of alternatives under return and risk.
In this paper we investigate a known competition model between two species in a chemostat with general (nonmonotone) response functions and distinct removal rates. Based on the competitive exclusion principle A. Rappa...

Whenever multiple stakeholders try to optimize a common objective function in a distributed way, an adroit coordination mechanism is necessary. this contribution presents a formal model of distributed combinatorial optimization problems. Subsequently, a heuristic is introduced, that uses self-organizing mechanisms to optimize a common global objective as well as individual local objectives in a fully decentralized manner. this heuristic, COHDA2, is implemented in an asynchronous multi-agent system, and is being extensively evaluated by means of a real-world problem from the smart grid domain. We give insight into the convergence process and show the robustness of COHDA 2 against unsteady communication networks. We show that COHDA 2 is a very efficient decentralized heuristic that is able to tackle a distributed combinatorial optimization problem with regard to multiple local objective functions, as well as a common global objective function, without being dependent on centrally gathered knowledge.
In this paper, we describe our efforts in using ontological engineering as a backbone technology to define multi-disciplinary knowledge that interact with one another in a complex domain. Multiple ontologies were deve...

the problem of optical character recognition is often solved, not only in the field of artificial intelligence itself, but also in everyday computer usage. We encountered this problem within the industrial project solved for real-life application. Best solver of such a task still remains human brain. Human beings are capable of character recognition even for damaged and highly incomplete images. In this paper, we present alternative softcomputing methods based on application of neural networks and fuzzy logic with evaluated syntax. We proposed a methodology of damaged letters recognition, which was experimentally verified. All experimental results were mutually compared in conclusion. Training and test sets were provided by Company KMC Group, s.r.o.
In this paper, we propose and implement a system based on Hill Climbing algorithm, called WMN-HC. We evaluate the performance of the proposed system by different scenarios using giant component and different distribut...
