This book was released on 1999 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LES TRAVAUX DE RECHERCHE QUI SONT PRESENTES DANS CETTE THESE S'INTERESSENT A LA REALISATION ET A L'ETUDE D'UN MECANISME D'AUTO-ORGANISATION DE GROUPES BAPTISE MATISSE (MULTI-AGENTS TOOL FOR INFORMATION AND SERVICE SEARCH IN OPEN ENVIRONMENT). D'UN POINT DE VUE GLOBAL, CE MECANISME PERMET AU SYSTEME DE SE STRUCTURER EN UNE ARBORESCENCE DONT LES NUDS SONT DES GROUPES D'AGENTS. D'UN POINT DE VUE LOCAL, IL PERMET A UN GROUPE DONT LA TAILLE DEVIENT TROP IMPORTANTE, DE SE DECOMPOSER EN PLUSIEURS GROUPES PLUS PETITS. L'ARBORESCENCE DE GROUPES EMERGE DES COMPORTEMENTS INDIVIDUELS DES AGENTS QUI SONT REGIS PAR DES CONTRAINTES GLOBALES. CES CONTRAINTES PERMETTENT AUX AGENTS D'AVOIR DES COMPORTEMENTS AUTONOMES ET COHERENTS. CETTE THESE SE PROPOSE D'ILLUSTRER LE FONCTIONNEMENT DES MECANISMES D'AUTO-ORGANISATION DE GROUPES EN LES APPLIQUANT AU PROBLEME DE L'ALLOCATION DE TACHES DANS LES SYSTEMES D'INFORMATION OUVERTS (SIO). EN OUTRE, CES TRAVAUX DE THESE ONT CONDUIT A UNE OBSERVATION ET UNE ANALYSE DU COMPORTEMENT DE MATISSE DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT OUVERT. AU TRAVERS D'UN EXEMPLE DE MISE EN UVRE SUR CORBA D'UNE PART, QUI NOUS A PERMIS DE VALIDER LES PROTOCOLES D'AUTO-ORGANISATION DE GROUPES DANS UN ENVIRONNEMENT REEL ET D'ILLUSTRER LES FONCTIONALITES OFFERTES PAR MATISSE. PAR LE BIAIS DE SIMULATIONS D'AUTRE PART, QUI NOUS ONT PERMIS DE COMPARER SES PERFORMANCES (EX. COUTS DE COMMUNICATION, TEMPS DE REPONSE) A CELLES DU RESEAU CONTRACTUEL ET DU GROUPE D'ARTISANS, DEUX MECANISMES DONT LES PROPRIETES EN FONT DES REFERENCES POUR NOTRE ETUDE.

Download or read book Agent Coordination Mechanisms for Solving a Partitioning Task written by Andreas Goebels and published by Logos Verlag Berlin. This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi Agent Systems and Swarm Intelligence are two recent and very promising topics in current computer science research. Swarm intelligence deals with large sets of individuals or agents that are regarded as a self-organizing system showing emergent behaviour. Ideas from biology are often and successfully applied to (optimization) problems in the computer science area. Nature provides several examples of complex architectures that are created by very simple insects with highly limited abilities. These insects live in social colonies and coordinate their actions by a concept called stigmergy. A frequently occurring question when designing multi agent or swarm systems that are (partly) inspired by natural examples is how to coordinate a large group of individuals or instances. This matter is closely connected with the question about the essential characteristics and parameters for both the whole system and each single agent. This thesis deals with these fundamental questions of multi agent and swarm intelligence systems. It presents several approaches for the different problems that might arise during system design. As background for all these approaches, a complex optimization problem has been chosen. The Online Partitioning Problem (OPP) addresses the uniform distribution of a group of agents onto targets under several restrictions, i.e. distance minimization and feature restriction. It is intriguing because it is easy to state but often very difficult to solve. Using such a reference problem allows us to compare the single approaches with each other. Though the presented new approaches deal only with this OPP, most of them can easily be adapted to other problems or are general concepts.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LES TECHNIQUES MULTI-AGENTS PERMETTENT DE CONSTRUIRE DES SYSTEMES ARTIFICIELS DANS LESQUELS L'ACTIVITE COLLECTIVE OBSERVEE N'EST DECRITE DANS AUCUNE DE LEURS PARTIES. CETTE APPROCHE EST PARTICULIEREMENT UTILE DANS LES APPLICATIONS OU LA COOPERATION D'UNE MULTITUDE DE TACHES ELEMENTAIRES EST INDISPENSABLE POUR LA REALISATION D'UNE ACTIVITE COLLECTIVE PRECISE MAIS DIFFICILEMENT FORMALISABLE, LORSQUE LE SYSTEME EST FORTEMENT EVOLUTIF OU ENCORE LORSQUE L'ENVIRONNEMENT EXERCE DES CONTRAINTES FORTES ET DYNAMIQUES SUR LE SYSTEME. POUR ABOUTIR A UN COMPORTEMENT COLLECTIF COHERENT ALORS QUE LES AGENTS NE CHERCHENT A ATTEINDRE QU'UN OBJECTIF INDIVIDUEL, LA PROPRIETE SUIVANTE A ETE DEMONTREE : POUR TOUT SYSTEME FONCTIONNELLEMENT ADEQUAT, IL EST POSSIBLE DE TROUVER AU MOINS UN SYSTEME A MILIEU INTERIEUR COOPERATIF QUI LUI SOIT EQUIVALENT, C'EST-A-DIRE UN SYSTEME DONT TOUTES LES PARTIES ENTRETIENNENT DES RELATIONS COOPERATIVES ENTRE ELLES ET AVEC L'ENVIRONNEMENT DU SYSTEME. CETTE PROPRIETE CONDUIT A UNE NOUVELLE METHODE DE CONCEPTION DE SYSTEMES. EN EFFET, IL NE DEVIENT PLUS NECESSAIRE DE CONNAITRE LA FINALITE D'UN SYSTEME MAIS DE SAVOIR QUE TOUS LES ELEMENTS QUI LE CONSTITUENT DOIVENT COOPERER. DES QU'UNE SITUATION NON COOPERATIVE SURVIENT, LE SYSTEME DOIT S'AUTO-ORGANISER AFIN DE REVENIR A UN ETAT COOPERATIF. LA TACHE DU CONCEPTEUR D'UNE APPLICATION CONSISTE ALORS A IDENTIFIER LES SITUATIONS NON COOPERATIVES AUXQUELLES PEUVENT ETRE CONFRONTES LES ELEMENTS DU SYSTEME PUIS A DEFINIR LES TRAITEMENTS QU'ILS DOIVENT EFFECTUER POUR REVENIR A UN ETAT COOPERATIF CONFORMEMENT A LA THEORIE PRESENTEE. CES PRINCIPES ONT ETE APPLIQUES AU PROJET ARCADIA, DANS LE CADRE D'UN CONTRAT CNET REALISE EN COLLABORATION AVEC L'ONERA-CERT. SON BUT EST DE PERMETTRE D'ACCEDER A DE L'INFORMATION PERTINENTE DANS UN RESEAU DE RESSOURCES D'INFORMATIONS DISTRIBUEES, HETEROGENES ET EN CONSTANTE EVOLUTION. DES EXEMPLES DE FONCTIONNEMENT DU PROTOTYPE REALISE SONT ANALYSES.

Download or read book Taking a Multisectoral One Health Approach A Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2018 FAO-OIE-WHO (Tripartite) zoonoses guide, “Taking A Multisectoral, One Health Approach: A Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries” (2018 TZG) is being jointly developed to provide member countries with practical guidance on OH approaches to build national mechanisms for multisectoral coordination, communication, and collaboration to address zoonotic disease threats at the animal-human-environment interface. The 2018 TZG updates and expands on the guidance in the one previous jointly-developed, zoonoses-specific guidance document: the 2008 Tripartite “Zoonotic Diseases: A Guide to Establishing Collaboration between Animal and Human Health Sectors at the Country Level”, developed in WHO South-East Asia Region and Western Pacific Region. The 2018 TZG supports building by countries of the resilience and capacity to address emerging and endemic zoonotic diseases such as avian influenza, rabies, Ebola, and Rift Valley fever, as well as food-borne diseases and antimicrobial resistance, and to minimize their impacts on health, livelihoods, and economies. It additionally supports country efforts to implement WHO International Health Regulations (2005) and OIE international standards, to address gaps identified through external and internal health system evaluations, and to achieve targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. The 2018 TZG provides relevant country ministries and agencies with lessons learned and good practices identified from country-level experiences in taking OH approaches for preparedness, prevention, detection and response to zoonotic disease threats, and provides guidance on multisectoral communication, coordination, and collaboration. It informs on regional and country-level OH activities and relevant unisectoral and multisectoral tools available for countries to use.
Download or read book Iodine and Inorganic Iodides written by J. Risher and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2009 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iodine is a naturally occurring element and inorganic iodines found in the ocean accumulate in fish, shellfish and seaweed. Industrially iodine is used in many applications including the manufacture of inks, dyes, photographic agents and in water-purification. In the health-care industry, iodine is widely used as a disinfectant/biocide and in the production of soaps, bandages, and medicines. Iodine is also included as a salt in some countries to provide dietary supplementation. This Concise International Chemical Assessment Document (CICAD) evaluates the scientific literature on the health aspects of iodine and inorganic iodides. Its focus is on the health effects from environmental exposures beyond those associated with the diet and nutritional supplementation. Radioactive iodine isotopes are regarded as outside the scope of the document.
Download or read book Biomedicine in the Twentieth Century Practices Policies and Politics written by C. Hannaway and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2008-02-11 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomedicine in the Twentieth Century: Practices, Policies, and Politics is a testimony to the growing interest of scholars in the development of the biomedical sciences in the twentieth century and to the number of historians, social scientists and health policy analysts now working on the subject. The book is comprised of essays by noted historians and social scientists that offer insights on a range of subjects that should be a significant stimulus for further historical investigation. It details the NIH’s practices, policies and politics on a variety of fronts, including the development of the intramural program, the National Institute of Mental Health and mental health policy, the politics and funding of heart transplantation and the initial focus of the National Cancer Institute. Comparisons can be made with the development of other American and British institutions involved in medical research, such as the Rockefeller Institute and the Medical Research Council. Discussions of the larger scientific and social context of United States’ federal support for research, the role of lay institutions in federal funding of virus research, the consequences of technology transfer and patenting, the effects of vaccine and drug development and the environment of research discoveries all offer new insights and suggest questions for further exploration.
