This study examines graphing calculator affordances in learning mathematics among college precalculus students. The study draws from the Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) and the “Intelligent Technology” theoretical framework proposed by Salomon, Perkins, and Globerson (1991). From these...

Intelligent manufacturing offers opportunities for green technology innovation at a low cost, helps eliminate outdated equipment, and improves pollution efficiency, which is essential for environmental protection. From the perspective of the industrial sector, based on the data of 269 Chinese...

Multiagent systems have been a fascination for research community and are often seen as an intelligent solution to many complex real world problems. Researchers have been active in the domain since last three decades and many developments pertaining to theoretical design and practical...

In this paper, we describe a conveyor matrix consisting of small-scale, multi-directional transport modules that are considerably smaller than the transported packets. If a large number of these modules are combined into a matrix, the emerging network solves transport tasks through cooperation...

This dissertation presents a prototype model and methodology for validating a simpleagent-based model against the basic Hotelling monopoly model and a few basic extensions.Hotelling's Rule identi es the expected behavior of a market for a nonrenewable resource.The statement is simple - marginal...

Security plays an important role in the development of multiagent systems. However, a careful analysis of software development processes shows that the definition of security requirements is, usually, considered after the design of the system. This is, mainly, due to the fact that agent oriented...

Range and charge anxiety remain essential barriers to a faster electric vehicle (EV) market diffusion. To this end, quickly and reliably finding suitable charging stations may foster an EV uptake by mitigating drivers' anxieties. Here, existing commercial services help drivers to find available...
