Interval based Weight Initialization Method for Sigmoidal Feedforward Artificial Neural Networks
Abstract Initial weight choice is an important aspect of the training mechanism for sigmoidal feedforward artificial neural networks. Usually weights are initialized to small random values in the same interval. A proposal is made in the paper to...

Scalable rank-mapping algorithm for an icosahedral grid system on the massive parallel computer with a 3-D torus network
Abstract In this paper, we develop a rank-mapping algorithm for an icosahedral grid system on a massive parallel computer with the 3-D torus network topology, specifically on the K computer. Our aim is to improve the weak scaling performance of the...

An MCS Adaptation Technique for Doppler Effect in IEEE 802.11p Vehicular Networks
Abstract In a vehicular network, all mobile nodes in communication are affected by Doppler Effect (DE) caused by the mobility of node. DE contributes considerably to the channel degradation in a Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET). In this paper, a...

Process Algebra with Local Communication
Abstract In process algebras like μCRL and ACP communication is defined globally. In the context of component-based architectures one wishes to define subcomponents of a system separately, including communication within that subcomponent. We define...

Programmable Type Systems for Domain Specific Languages
Abstract A language with a programmable type system is vital for the construction of an embedded domain specific language (EDSL). Driven by the requirements posed by the implementation of an EDSL for server-side Web scripting, we examine two major...

Improving UML with Petri nets1 1This work has been partially supported by Ministero della Ricerca Scientifica e Technologica under the SALADIM Project and by Polipecnico di Milano under the TATOOS Project.
Abstract UML is the OMG standard notation for object-oriented modeling. It is easy, graphical and appealing, but in several cases still too imprecise. UML is strong as modeling means, supplies several different diagrammatic notations for...

Generalizing Coherence Spaces and Hypercoherences
Abstract Let Q be a Girard quantale. In other words Q is a complete lattice which also has the structure of a ∗-autonomous category. For every n ∈ {3,4,5,…,ω} we define a category of “sets with values in Q and Q-respecting relations” which gives us...
