Enn Tyugu: a Deported Estonian and a Soviet Academician

The two landmark events of his biography are his deportation in 1941 and his interest in computers. The topic appears relevant since in the post-Soviet (the same as in the USSR) environment research on the life paths of the representatives of deported nations was scarce; we know little about their life and the life of their progeny; there are no studies or ego-documents shedding light on the everyday aspect of their lives in deportation. We will not elaborate on the issue of access of science and technology specialists (technocrats) to political power and administrative decision-making and will limit our interest to their socio-professional identities.

Towards Multi-Agent Models of Domain-Specific Languages

Springer eBooks, 2002

ABSTRACT A framework for the appropriate development of Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) is expect... more ABSTRACT A framework for the appropriate development of Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) is expected to provide conceptually clear tools for DSL modeling and implementation. Multi-agent systems are proposing a new design concept for software – the kenetic program design – based on the concepts of interactions and agents. On the basis of this conceptual view, the interactive attributed automata are considered as a potential framework for DSL development. An attributed automaton is a state transition machine introduced for knowledge structuring and conceptual specification on the basis of regular attributed structures. Distributed memory of an attributed automaton supports the decomposition of computational problems into a network of information nodes with attached communication and computation actions. Compositions of Attributed Automata (AA) serve as a structuring tool of AA as complex computational agents. Basic techniques of interactive AA are implemented in a development environment prototype.

Attributed models of executable specifications

ABSTRACT Attributed Models of Executable Specifications Attributed automata (AA) were introduced ... more ABSTRACT Attributed Models of Executable Specifications Attributed automata (AA) were introduced as a formalism for executable specification of knowledge using regular syntax with attributes representing contextual relations as well as semantic properties of concepts. AA can be treated as a generalization of a state transition network with attributes and computational relations attached to states and transitions respectively. The formal definition and general properties of the AA are presented. The problems of composition/decomposition and minimization are considered in the paper. A short overview of applications is given.

How Can Agents Help in Designing Complex Systems

Journal of Telecommunication, Electronic and Computer Engineering, Sep 15, 2017

Distributed systems for decision support, crisis management, environment monitoring, e-government... more Distributed systems for decision support, crisis management, environment monitoring, e-government and smart cities, and for other areas, as well as Internet-of-Things applications are increasingly complex sociotechnical systems. Because of their distributed nature and complexity, such systems are cognitively hard to grasp and design. Therefore, appropriate simplified representations of complex systemsmodelsare required for designing and analyzing them. Moreover, a complex system needs to be simulated and prototyped before the development process can start to make sure a system with appropriate behavior has been designed. For modeling complex systems, "agent" or "actor" is a useful notion because conceptually sociotechnical systems consist of interacting human agents and man-made agents, such as smart software components and intelligent devices. In simulation and rapid prototyping, software agents can emulate both humans and technical components of a complex sociotechnical system. This article will provide an overview of the Agent-Oriented Modelling (AOM) methodology for modelling, simulation, and prototyping of sociotechnical systems. AOM offers software engineering processes and work products for agile design, simulation, and prototyping of distributed sociotechnical systems. In the center of AOM lies the viewpoint framework within which to design sociotechnical systems. The viewpoint framework supports the modelling, simulation, and prototyping of systems for a given problem domain from three balanced and interrelated viewpoint aspects: information, interaction, and behavior. The article will describe case studies from several industry-and government-related research projects.

A reference decision model of first responders' decision-making

The formalism utilised is the stochastic marked point process. The paper is written to support 'black-box' modelling of situation awareness in virtual training simulation, where a trainee's performance is compared with, e.g., the performance of experienced commanders with respect to key performance indicators (KPIs) obtained from such simulations. The paper also briefly discusses the use of the introduced decision model in developing agent-based models and simulations. It is also noted that the decision model encompasses the recognition-primed decision (RPD) model of naturalistic decision-making.

First of all, the situation related threats can be difficult to identify. Moreover, it is difficult to conclude what happens when multiple threats occur simultaneously. In this paper we introduce the idea of an application which allows seamless cooperation between many experts. In this paper we describe a computer based simulation application which is designed to support contingency planning -having resources available -in extreme winter condition. First we introduce the background of the simulationsparsely populated areas in Northern Finland where long distances and extremely cold weather can make disturbance situations even more difficult to be normalized by authorities. Secondly we present the tools that are used to build up the application. Finally, we discuss what benefits the application offers for the authorities, preparedness planning and society.
