This research aims to understand an assembly instruction manual by fusing the result obtained from understanding technical illustrations (TIU) and that obtained from understanding instructions (IU). In the first versi...
Technical illustrations (TI) are always drawn in any assembly manual. This means that a TI is more informative than instruction in assembly tasks. Without TI, we have to read assembly instructions, it is difficult to ...
Technical illustrations (TI) are one of the main methods to show a way to assemble/disassemble a mechanical assembly. The information including not only the shape of a constituent and an order of operations necessary ...
1. 1. Ion channels of silkworm moth antennae were incorporated into a planar lipid bilayer and investigated under voltage-clamp conditions. 2. 2. Ion channels with elementary conductances of 33 and 100 pS in 100 mM K+...
In this paper, we propose a syntactic pattern recognition method for non-schematic drawings, based on a new attributed graph grammar with flexible embedding. In our graph grammar, the embedding rule permits the nodes ...

In decision making under uncertainty, the best alternative may be obtained by maximizing the expected utility. To this end, many researchers have been paying much attention to the identification of utility functions. Inpractical situations, however, there seem to be not a few possible cases such as group decisions where it is difficult to identify utility functions. When only partial knowledge of utility functions is available, one way for ranking alternatives is to make the most of information on probability distributions of alternatives. The theory of stochastic dominance has been developed for this purpose. Although the use of stochastic dominance may seldom lead to the final decision in general, it may be useful for narrowing down the alternetive set. In this paper, several kinds of stochastic dominance will first be surveyed and discussed. Then their potential effectiveness to risk management will be verified along with some examples.
The brushless doubly fed reluctance machine consists of a stator containing two winding sets if different pole number linked by a reluctance type of rotor. This paper studies the magnetic performance of machines with ...

Biomimetic robots that replace living social interaction partners can help elucidate the underlying interaction rules in animal groups. Our review focuses on the use of interactive robots that respond dynamically to animal behavior as part of a closed control loop. We discuss the most influential works to date and how they have contributed to our understanding of animal sociality. Technological advances permit the use of robots that can adapt to the situations they face and the conspecifics they encounter, or robots that learn to optimize their social performance from a set of experiences. We discuss how adaptation and learning may provide novel insights into group sociobiology and describe the technical challenges associatedwith these types of interactive robots. This interdisciplinary field provides a rich set of problems to be tackled by roboticists, machine learning engineers, and control theorists. By cultivating smarter robots, we can usher in an era of more nuanced exploration of animal behavior.

The year 2009 celebrates the bicentenary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th - niversary of the publication of his seminal work, On the Origin of *** this makes 2009 a special year for the research community working in biology and evolution, the ?eld of evolutionary computation (EC) also shares the same excitement. EC techniques are e?cient, nature-inspired planning and optimi- tion methods based on the principles of natural evolution and genetics. Due to their e?ciency and simple underlying principles, these methods can be used in the context of problem solving, optimization, and machine learning. A large and ever-increasing number of researchers and professionals make use of EC te- niques in various application domains. ThisvolumepresentsacarefulselectionofrelevantECapplicationscombined with a thorough examination of the techniques used in EC. The papers in the volume illustrate the current state of the art in the application of EC and can help and inspire researchers and professionals to develop e?cient EC methods for design and problem solving.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 38th Conference on Current Trends in Theory and Practice of computerscience, SOFSEM 2012, held in Špindlerův Mlýn, Czech Republic, in January 2012.
The 43 revised papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 121 submissions. The book also contains 11 invited talks, 10 of which are in full-paper length. The contributions are organized in topical sections named: foundations of computerscience; software and Web engineering; cryptography, security, and verification; and artificial intelligence.
