The Virtual Storyteller: story generation by simulation [PDF]

, 2008
The Virtual Storyteller is a multi-agent framework that generates stories based on a concept called emergent narrative. In this paper, we describe the motivation and approach of the Virtual Storyteller, and give an overview of the computational processes

A new model for solution of complex distributed constrained problems

, 2009
In this paper we describe an original computational model for solving different types of Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DCSP). The proposed model is called Controller-Agents for Constraints Solving (CACS). This model is intended to be used

A Noise-Robust Method with Smoothed \ell_1/\ell_2 Regularization for Sparse Moving-Source Mapping

, 2016
The method described here performs blind deconvolution of the beamforming output in the frequency domain. To provide accurate blind deconvolution, sparsity priors are introduced with a smooth \ell_1/\ell_2 regularization term. As the mean of the noise in

Ship Domain in Open waters- the size and shape of the navigator’s declarative ship domain

, 2018
This master thesis presents the outcome of the declarative ship domain from Norwegian seafarers, in open waters. A ship domain is a psychological phenomenon when on board a ship the navigator will have a distinct feeling of when targeted vessels come to close in the surrounding area of the ship.

Seeing a Sea of Ships - Exploring the Ship Design Space in the Digital Domain

International Marine Design Conference
We tackle in this work aspects of the ship design space in the digital domain, with an overview of the current status and opportunities to shift from fixed arrangements towards open technologies, proposing a mix of open and proprietary databases. The discussion is focused on the visual domain and digital thread in ship design.

The combination of analytical and statistical method to define polygonal ship domain and reflect human experiences in estimating dangerous area

, 2016
The paper suggests a new method of collision avoidance stemming from the concept of the polygonal target ship domain. Since the last century, we have witnessed the current typical ship domains classified and described.

Harm, authority and generalizability: further experiments on the moral/conventional distinction [PDF]

, 2010
Certain researchers in the field of moral psychology, following Turiel (1983), argue that children and adults in different cultures make a distinction between moral and conventional transgressions.
