In this paper, we proposed an ungrowing scale-free network model, indicating the growth may not be a necessary condition of the self-organization of a network in a scale-free structure. The analysis shows that the degree distributions of the present model can varying from the Poisson form to the...

We propose a new model of minority game with so-called smart agents such that the standard deviation and the total loss in this model reach the theoretical minimum values in the limit of long time. The smart agents use trail and error method to make a choice but bring global optimization to the...

We propose and study a new adaptation minority game for understanding the complex dynamical behavior characterized by agent interactions competing limited resource in many natural and social systems. We compare the strategy of agents in the model to chromosome in biology. In our model, the...

We propose a new model of minority game with intelligent agents who use trail and error method to make a choice such that the standard deviation σ<Superscript>2</Superscript> and the total loss in this model reach the theoretical minimum values in the long time limit and the global optimization of the system is reached....</superscript>

A model of nongrowing networks with time-cumulative scale-free (SF) property based on the apply–reply process is proposed in this paper. This model is not only without growth but also without a direct expression of preferential attachment. The network structure is evolved by the change of...

We developed a prototype to support data integration and decision making in Breast Cancer domain, wherein the knowledge management plays a critical role. While the decision making needs to rely on different medical expertise, our system experiments with a system ontology and then a process...

The UK Government recently announced plans to reform the system that determines how much the state contributes to people's long-term care costs. The reforms will start in 2016 and introduce a lifetime cap on the costs an individual will need to pay towards 'eligible' care and support needs. They...
