In this paper we present an extension to the classical particle system. We unify particles, particle sources, and force generators into a second order particle system. In the seco...
— We discuss a framework for defining physical open systems on higher-dimensional complexes. We start with the formalization of the dynamics of open electrical circuits and the ...
: A definition of types in an information system is given from real-world abstractions through data constructs, schema and definitions to physical data values. Category theory su...

The design of very small databases for smart cards and for portable embedded systems is deeply constrained by the peculiar features of the physical medium. Privacy concerns are re...
Determining the physical location of the users of a multi-agent system is essential if we want it to provide them with context-awareness services. A context-aware system can answer...
