This paper presents a model for Virtual Network Function (VNF) placement and chaining
across Cloud environments. We propose a new analytical approach for joint VNFs …

This paper discusses methods for evaluating the intelligence of intelligent systems by means
of computational semiotics. Instead of looking at the system as a black box and testing its …

The unifying theme of this book is that communication is an underlying fabric of life, as
fundamental as matter and energy are to our world and, more importantly, to our …

Informação e comunicação são, no contexto atual, as bases para a inovação em
organizações. As tecnologias da informação e comunicação, que viabilizam e sustentam …

In this paper we discuss a set of conceptual issues regarding the synthesis of semiotic
processes within artificial systems, and its technological offspring, the semionic networks …

The aim of the paper is to introduce a unified framework for soft computing based on the
computational semiotics approach. Derived from semiotics, a classic discipline in human …

The broad application of semiotic approaches to organisations has been considered by a
number of information systems academics to be a necessary advance in information …

In this paper, we present Semionics, a contribution to the field of Computational Semiotics,
and propose its use in order to build and simulate models of organisations. Computational …

Presents the introductory concepts related to the modeling tool called object networks.
Inspired by both (fuzzy) Petri nets and object oriented technology, this modeling tool has …

We offer a standpoint that emotions are a necessary mechanism for autonomous control
systems. By an autonomous controlled object we understand an object, that is controlled by …
