A metropolis consists of zones segmented by major roads. People travel between zones to
conduct social activities. To analyze the characteristics of the entire city, we can explore …

New knowledge is incrementally introduced to an existing knowledge base in a typical
knowledge-engineering cycle. Unfortunately, at most given stages, the knowledge base is …

Complex systems consist of multiple interacting subsystems, whose nonlinear interactions
can result in unanticipated (emergent) system events. Extant systems analysis approaches …

Modeling complex real world scenarios require representing and analyzing information from
multiple domains including social, economic and political aspects. However, most of the …

One of the greatest challenges in accurately modeling a human system is the integration of
dynamic, fine-grained information in a meaningful way. A model must allow for reasoning in …

A novel approach of Gabor feature based face recognition approach is presented in this
paper. Gabor wavelet is a very powerful tool to analyze the texture of an image. Due to its …
