364 | Object Oriented Programming for Partial Differential Equations [abstract] Abstract: After a short introduction to the mathematical modelling of the elastic dynamic problem, which shows the similarity between the governing Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in different applications, common blocks for Finite Element approximation are identified, and an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) methodology for linear and non-linear, stationary and dynamic problems is presented. Advantages of this approach are commented and some results are shown as examples of this methodology. |

667 | GPGPU for Difficult Black-box Problems [abstract] Abstract: Difficult black-box problems are required to be solved in many scientific and industrial areas. In this paper, efficient use of a hardware accelerator to implement dedicated solvers for such problems is discussed and studied based on an example of Golomb Ruler problem. The actual solution of the problem is shown based on evolutionary and memetic algorithms accelerated on GPGPU. The presented results prove the supremacy of GPGPU over optimized multicore CPU implementation. |

558 | Multi-variant Planing for Dynamic Problems with Agent-based Signal Modeling [abstract] Abstract: The problem of planning for groups of autonomous beings is gaining attention over the last few years. Real life tasks, like mobile robots coordination or urban traffic management, need robust and flexible solutions. In this paper a new approach to the problem of multi-variant planning in such systems is presented. It assumes use of simple reactive controllers by the beings, however the state observation is enriched by dynamically updated model, which contains planning results. The approach gives promising results in the considered use case, which is the Multi Robot Task Allocation problem. |

637 | Conditional Synchronization in Multi-Agent Graph-Based Knowledge Systems [abstract] Abstract: Graph transformations provide a well established method for the formal description of modifications of graph-based systems. On the other side such systems can be regarded as multi-agent ones providing a feasible mean for maintaining and manipulating large scale data. This paper deals with the problem of information exchange among agents maintaining different graph-based systems. Graph formalism applied for representing a knowledge maintained by agents is used at the same time to perform graph transformations modeling a knowledge exchange. The consistency of a knowledge represented by the set of agents is ensured by execution of some graph transformations rules by two agents in a parallel way. We suggest that complex operations (sequences of graph transformations) should be introduced instead of the formalism basing on simple unconditional operations. The approach presented in this paper is accompanied by examples concerning the problem of personal data distributed over different places (and maintained by different agents) and transmitted in such an environment\footnote{Financial support for this study was provided from resources of National Center for Research and Development, the grant number NCBiR 0021/R/ID2/2011/01. }. |

442 | Agent-based approach to WEB exploration process [abstract] Abstract: The paper contains the concept of agent-based search system and monitoring of Web pages. It is oriented at the exploration of limited problem area, covering a given sector of industry or economy. The proposal of agent-based (modular) structure of the system is due to the desire to ease the introduction of modifications or enrichment of its functionality. Commonly used search engines do not offer such a feature. The second part of the article presents a pilot version of the WEB mining system, representing a simplified implementation of the previously presented concept. Testing of the implemented application was executed by referring to the problem area of foundry industry. |
