| | Goran Trajkovski is an assistant professor of computer and information sciences and the director of the Cognitive Agency and Robotics Laboratory (CARoL) at Towson University (Towson, MD). He served on the faculty of West Virginia University (Parkersburg, WV) and SS Cyril and Methodius University (Skopje, Macedonia). He holds a bachelor’s degree in applied informatics, a master’s degree in mathematical and computer sciences, and a PhD degree in computer sciences from SS Cyril and Methodius University (Skopje, Macedonia). Trajkovski is also affiliated with the Institute for Interactivist Studies at Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA), and a member of the organizing committee of the Interactivist Summer Institutes. His work spans a wide range of computer science topics, and is of an interdisciplinary nature. His current research is focused on cognitive and developmental robotics, and emergent phenomena in the agents’ societies, especially concept formation and the emergence of language. Trajkovski’s upcoming book, An imitation-based approach to modeling homogenous agents societies (Idea Group Publishing, anticipated in July 2006), outlines his efforts in this area. His recent work has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Academy of Sciences, through a Twinning Grant. He is chairing the 2006 fall symposium of the American Association for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), will be held in October in Arlington, VA. It will cover interaction and emergent phenomena in societies of agents. Facilitating student creativity is important to Trajkovski. CARoL is a unique place that enables numerous undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students to pursue their own research interests under his supervision. Their work has been featured in the media and at various conferences. Throughout his 11 years in academia, he has been an advocate of the inclusion of diversity topics in the curriculum of the “diversity-unfriendly” disciplines (computer science, information technology, natural sciences, and mathematics). He has been on several panels on this topic, and chaired the 2004 Towson University Multicultural Conference, “Dimensions of Diversity.” His fourth book, Diversity in information technology education: issues and challenges (Information Science Publishing, January 2006) focuses on this subject. |

On integrating confidentiality and functionality in a formal method
Banks M., Jacob J. Formal Aspects of Computing 26(5): 963-992, 2014. Type: Article
Miracles happen and are now formalized. Moreover, they can exist in formal methods where functionality and confidentiality of systems coexist in efforts to build secure systems by design. Functionality and confidentially have so far be...

Many hands make light work: further studies in group evolution
Tomko N., Harvey I., Virgo N., Philippides A. Artificial Life 20(1): 163-181, 2014. Type: Article
Standard genetic algorithms (GAs) are known to work well in certain cases, and to suffocate in others. For example, when a task has several component parts, the results may be disappointing, as they may tend to evaluate the best on one...

Identification of deep sleep and awake with computational EEG measures
Huupponen E., Kulkas A., Saastamoinen A., Tenhunen M., Himanen S. Journal of Medical Systems 35(6): 1413-1420, 2011. Type: Article
When investigating physiological phenomena in humans, we often resort to measuring signals, transforming them, and building models that can help us determine a state or the situation at hand. In this paper, electroencephalographs (EEGs...

Counting extensional acyclic digraphs
Policriti A., Tomescu A. Information Processing Letters 111(16): 787-791, 2011. Type: Article
Set theory is the foundation of modern mathematics and theoretical computer science. Departing from the traditional view of the concept of a set, we can look at sets as directed graphs. In this context, the sets represent vertices and ...

Optimal selection of the service rate for a finite input source fuzzy queuing system
Pardo M., de la Fuente D. Fuzzy Sets and Systems 159(3): 325-342, 2008. Type: Article
Uncertainty is certain in life. From the perspective of operational research and queueing theory, in real life, possibility is what situations are based on, rather than probability. In this paper, Pardo and de la Fuente fuzzify arrival...
