THE use of function blocks for programming of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) is gaining wider acceptance. Rather than the classic “contact and coil” representation of ladder diagram or relay ...

Inductive logic programming (ILP) and machine learning together represent a powerful synthesis of symbolic reasoning and statistical inference. ILP focuses on deriving interpretable logic rules from ...

The possibility of creating passive and active optoelectronic logic elements simultaneously performing the functions AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR is considered. Passive logic elements, unlike active ...
