The purpose of this paper is to present a way to acquire some knowledge for the development of an expert system for power system security analysis. The paper discusses principally the problem of security in steady state and especially the problem of overlo ...
The application developed by the authors is an investigation of the description of a technical system, an electric power substation, using a knowledge-based approach. The purpose is essentially tutorial, it intends to present a practical problem and examin ...
Like a variety of other pathogenic bacteria, Aeromonas hydrophila secretes a pore-forming toxin that contribute to its virulence. The last decade has not only increased our knowledge about the structure of this toxin, called aerolysin, but has also shed li ...
This paper addresses CAAD from an organizational point of view. We employ recent developments in organizational economics to model the organizational processes in building design. Based on an analysis of (i) the cost of transferring knowledge, and (ii) age ...

*This book provides a full, general purpose and application independent exposition of the moiré phenomenon. * Based on the Fourier theory it leads the reader through the various phenomena which occur in the superposition of repetitive layers, both in the i ...
In this paper, a practical cryptosystem based on an authentication tree is described. It is an extension of Ralph Merkle's results. The security of the system depends on assumptions on a one-way function . This cryptosystem allows to make interactive proof ...
The proposed methodology is based on the developments of five significant points. These developments were necessary in order to give a balanced diagnosis. They represent however only one stage towards a better comprehension of the arising problem. The meth ...
Conventional CAD systems offer no good representation techniques for capturing designers' qualitative knowledge of how devices function. Such knowledge, if preserved, can provide useful basis for reasoning tasks such as the repair reasoning and qualitative ...
Cooperative Learning in a multi-agent system can improve the learning quality and learning speed. The improvement can be gained if each agent detects the expert agents and use their knowledge properly. In this paper, a new cooperative learning method, call ...
