Integration of emotion in a virtual agent is a topic of research to depict human-like behavior in a simulated environment. For the last few decades, many researchers are working in the field of incorporating emotions in a ...

In this paper we propose an automatic volcano event detection system based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with state and event duration models. Since different volcanic events have different durations, therefore the state ...

Due to the impossibility of predicting with certainty the occurrence of disruptive events, buffers defined to obtain a robust schedule could not absorb all the changes. Then, local modifications of the schedule are usually ...

Many recent survival studies propose modeling data with a cure fraction, i.e., data in which part of the population is not susceptible to the event of interest. This event may occur more than once for the same individual ...

Aim: To develop and implement a method for phylogenetic biogeography that is both event based and geographically explicit, that is, that uses the geographical ranges observed in the terminals instead of ‘predefined areas.’. ...

In some large clinical studies, it may be impractical to perform the physical examination to every subject at his/her last monitoring time in order to diagnose the occurrence of the event of interest. This gives rise to ...

Good domain-modeling enables an appropriate separation of concerns that improves quality properties in the simulation models, such as modifiability and maintainability. In this paper, the interplay of abstraction and ...
