within a learner and between the learner and his social partners may provide an embodied solution that significantly simplifies the social and physical learning environment, and filters irrelevant information for a current learning task which ultimately leads to successful learning. In light of this, we

useful computational level, termed the embodiment level . At this level, the constraints of the body determine the nature of cognitive operations, since the natural sequentiality of body movements can be matched to the natural computational economies of sequential decision systems. The way this is done

. We address each identified criticism in turn, proposing solutions for those we view as legitimate and clarifying misunderstandings surrounding those we believe to be less valid. We conclude that work on resilience possesses substantial potential for augmenting the understanding of processes affecting

The basic issue concerning production in welfare economics is whether a market solution will yield the socially optimum kinds and quantities of commodities. It is well known that problems can arise for three broad reasons: distributive justice; external effects; and scale economies. This paper

On the one hand, this period could be characterized by the equality-discourse; it is a period when women were declared equal to men in juridical, social, and political senses. Frequently this period is called the period of Marxist feminism (Bryson). On the other hand, the whole Soviet period is well known as a period of “false equality. ” Thus, for an understanding of

A “majority consensus ” algorithm which represents a new solution to the update synchronization problem for multiple copy databases is presented. The algorithm embodies distributed control and can function effectively in the presence of communication and database site outages. The correctness

structure. However, often these experiments entail highly embodied solutions, or do not explore the relative importance of embodied solutions compared to less embodied solutions. In this

a solution to this problem: a two-level storage hierarchy implemented inside a single diskarray controller. In the upper level of this hierarchy, two copies of active data are stored to provide full redundancy and excellent performance. In the lower level, RAID 5 parity protection is used to provide

single macroscopic device of embodied computation. The solution to computational problems emerges from a huge amount of local interactions. The system’s memory is the sum of the positional information and possibly of the internal states. Such systems are very robust and allow different methodologies

We have built a population of eight robots and successfully implemented our first experiments. The controllers
