Distributed constraint programming with agents

Many combinatorial optimization problems lend themselves to be modeled as distributed constraint optimization problems (DisCOP). Problems such as job shop scheduling have an intuitive matching between agents and machines. In distributed constraint problems, agents control variables and are connected via constraints. We have equipped these agents with a full constraint solver. This makes it possibl

Marriage as the Arena of Salvation : An Ecclesiological Study of the Marital Regulation in the Canons of the Council in Trullo

Despite the importance of canon law in the life of the Eastern Orthodox Churches, there has not been a study of the ecclesiology of the canons regulating marriage. Marriage is an object of right regulated both by civil law and the canon law of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Marriage as an object of right is at the intersection of two legal orders - the ecclesial and the civil. The canonical regulati

Tre städer, två broar och ett museum : minne, politik och världsarv i Bosnien och Hercegovina

The thesis deals with ritual remembrance ceremonies enacted in the three towns of Mostar, Jajce and Višegrad in BiH. The Old Bridge in Mostar, the Bridge over the Drina in Višegrad and the AVNOJ Museum in Jajce all carry a material presence that influences everyday life in these localities. Through ethnographic fieldwork, insights into local practices in relation to those World Heritage Sites are

Prediction of falls and/or near falls by using tandem gait performance in people with mild Parkinson’s disease

Objective: To investigate whether tandem gait test (TG) can predict future falls and/or near falls in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Background: People with PD have balance problems and an increased risk for falls. Although TG has been considered a predictor of falls, no PD-study has controlled results for demographic and disease-specific characteristics or included near falls when investig

State led agricultural development and change in Yogyakarta 1973-1996

In the early 1990s, Indonesia was seen as one of the post war success stories. The country was boasting an impressive growth record and had seen the number of poor continuously decline. This picture of Indonesia stood in stark contrast to the situation only 30 years earlier when the economy was in a shambles and starvation was a real threat. At the core of this change in Indonesia lies the transfo

Centre-Periphery, World Systems, and Medieval Archaeology

I have briefly outlined different levels of scale in the discussion of centre–periphery, from a local to a more global perspective. I have tried to show that the concepts of centre and periphery cannot be applied without qualification. Different realities are concealed behind them. The common factor is nevertheless that they signal some kind of contacts, in the form of giving and taking, of power,
