Spectrum sensing and spectrum management are the main challenging functions that cognitive radio (CR) networks have to perform. In this paper, we focus specifically on the spectrum decision problem. This problem is worsened in the presence of users with different demands and spectrum channels with different properties in a heterogeneous network. For accurate and proper spectrum management, we propose a spectrum decision algorithm for spectrum brokers, which takes user type and spectrum channel properties into consideration. This approach increases both the number of users that can get proper spectrum bands and the throughput of the system. The algorithm also includes a "patience" option. Users that choose the "patience" option agree to wait for a predetermined amount of time until their connection is established. Meanwhile, a better spectrum may become available. This option increases the efficiency of spectrum usage too.

Rough set theory is a new mathematical approach to imprecision, vagueness and uncertainty in data analysis. This paper presents a new approach to rough set theory in determining the category of crack causes for insufficient and imprecise crack characteristics observed in regular inspection of concrete structures. The categories of crack causes are classified into four classes, that is, (1) concrete material, (2) construction work, (3) service and environmental factors, and (4) structure and applied loads. The crack characteristics include time of formation, shape, regularity, cause of concrete deformation, and range. The decision table was constructed considering crack characteristics as condition attributes and the categories of crack causes as decision attributes. A minimal decision algorithm for this decision table was generated on the basis of rough set theory;the algorithm is equivalent to the original decision table, but requires minimum subsets of condition attributes. It turned out in determining the category of crack causes that, "time of formation" had the most important influence among crack characteristics, and "shape" could be omitted with the least influence on diagnosis.

The acute scrotum is a clinical condition in boys and adolescent males that is normally first assessed in the Emergency Department of a hospital. We used data from the patients' charts and applied knowledge discovery technique based on rough set theory to develop a clinical decision algorithm for triaging patients with this condition. As demonstrated by a limited retrospective evaluation, the algorithm supports early triage decisions on the basis of readily available information, resulting in good triage accuracy. In order to make the algorithm usable in clinical practice, to integrate it with the workflow, and to make it available at the point of care, we implemented it as an application in the mobile clinical decision support environment called MET (Mobile Emergency Triage). MET uses ontologies to represent domains of various acute presentations and triage support functionalities, and renders specific applications on demand from these ontologies.
The paper sets out to offer an alternative to the function/argument approach to the most essential aspects of natural language meanings. That is, we question the assumption that semantic completeness (of, e.g., propos...

In this work we are concerned with the formal verification of two-dimensional non-deterministic hybrid systems, namely polygonal differential inclusion systems (SPDIs). SPDIs are a class of non-deterministic systems that correspond to piecewise constant differential inclusions on the plane, for which we study the reachability problem. Our contribution is the development of an algorithm for solving exactly the reachability problem of SPDIs. We extend the geometric approach due to Maler and Pnueli [O. Maler, A. Punch. Reachability analysis of planar multi-linear systems. in: C. Courcoubetis (Ed.), CAV'93, in: LNCS, vol. 697, Springer-Verlag, 1993, pp. 194-209] to non-deterministic systems, based on the combination of three techniques: the representation of the two-dimensional continuous-time dynamics as a one-dimensional discrete-time system (using Poincare maps), the characterization of the set of qualitative behaviors of the latter as a finite set of types of signatures, and acceleration used to explore reachability according to each of these types.

With the successful deployment of various radio access networks, multi-radio access has become an important research topic for heterogeneous wireless networks. This paper presents several multi-standard radio resource management strategies for integrated voice and data services. The input parameters as well as the availability of overflow at call setup stage and intersystem handover during call connection stage differentiate these strategies from each other. The heterogeneous networks capacity of integrated services is investigated via simulations modelling the stochastic traffic, mobility, and technology related air interface features. Performance comparison reveals that a strategy merely maximising the capacity might not consider the performance of individual service in some cases.

The acyclic property of database data structure is an important property of the database theory and application. How to make an acyclic decomposition of the database schema is a relatively complex problem, and more complex is the α-acyclic decomposition problem when there exist inside conflicts in FD set F. Discussed in this paper is that when there exist generalized left-hand side conflicts or generalized right-hand side conflicts in FD set F which has inside conflicts, the relationship between the generalized left-hand side or generalized right-hand side conflicts and the symmetrical left-hand side attribute set, and the existing condition and property of the symmetrical left-hand side attribute set. The corresponding concepts, theorems and proof are also given. On this basis, a decision algorithm of the existence of generalized left-hand side or generalized right-hand side conflicts is presented. The correctness verification and algorithm analysis of the above mentioned algorithm are presented too.

This paper presents a hybrid agent architecture, which includes reactive architecture and deliberative architecture, the former enhances the reactivity of agents, and the later improves the intelligence of agents. The paper also introduces a novel agent decision algorithm to make agent accomplish tasks promptly and artificially. The hybrid architecture and decision algorithm had successfully applied to RoboCup simulation system, and the simulation results show they are effective.
