Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Biomedical systems-such as pacemakers and automated insulin pumps-are Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) that must operate safely and reliably at all times. This book introduces a systematic design methodology for Medical CPSs (MCPSs) using the synchronous approach, which ensures deterministic and reactive execution-key to safety-critical performance.Through a detailed case study of a pacemaker and a modeled human heart, this book demonstrates how the synchronous approach enables accurate modeling, verification, and automated code generation. Using the SCCharts language, readers learn how to model the cardiac conduction system and a DDD-mode pacemaker, derive embedded implementations, and validate them via a synchronous heart simulator.The book then covers formal verification using the UPPAAL model checker, followed by run-time verification methods that form the foundation for preventing adversarial attacks. It concludes with references to open-source tools and future research directions relevant to the CPS community.This is a clear, practical guide to designing safe and verifiable medical cyber-physical systems. 378 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Today's large language models excel at pattern recall yet falter on long-range planning, self-critique, context loss, and the tendency of maximum-likelihood training to reward popularity over quality. MACI offers a promising route to AGI by orchestrating specialized LLM agents through explicit protocols rather than enlarging a single model. Several modules remedy complementary weaknesses: adversarial-collaborative debate surfaces hidden assumptions; critical-reading rubrics filter incoherent arguments; information-theoretic signals steer dialogue quantitatively; transactional memory enables reliable long-horizon execution; and a dual-agent ethical court adjudicates outputs. Crucially, MACI also modulates linguistic behavior, tuning each agent's contentiousness and emotional tone, so the collective explores ideas from contrasting, affect-aware perspectives before converging.Fourteen aphorisms distill the framework's philosophy, including 'Intelligence emerges from regulated collaboration, not isolated brilliance' and 'Exploration must remain in tension with exploitation.' Across healthcare diagnosis, investment support, scheduling, supply-chain management, and news-bias mitigation, MACI ensembles deliver significant improvements in reasoning depth, planning horizon, and reliability compared with similar-sized single models. By uniting structured debate, information-theoretic coordination, persistent memory, affect-aware discourse, and deliberative ethics, MACI demonstrates that rigorously validated multi-agent collaboration provides a practical, interpretable path toward robust general intelligence. 598 pp. Englisch. …
