parameter space of piecewise-linear maps. In the region of chaotic behavior we
detect an infinite number of interior crises bounding the regions of multi-band
attractors. This phenomenon, denoted as bandcount adding scenario, leads to a
self-similar structure of the chaotic region in the parameter space.},

abstract = {The paper describes how a high-level abstract world model can be used to
support the decision-making process of an autonomous driving system. The
approach uses a hierarchical world model and distinguishes between a low-level
model for the trajectory planning and a high-level model for solving the
traffic coordination problem. The abstract world model used in the CyberCars-2
project is presented. It is based on a topological lane segmentation and
introduces relations to represent the semantic context of the traffic scenario.
This makes it much easier to realize a consistent and complete driving control
system, and to analyze, evaluate and simulate such a system.},

abstract = {Agents acting in physical space use perception in combination with their own
world models and shared context models to orient. The shared context models
have to be adapted permanently to the conditions of the real world. If a
measurement of an agent{\^a}€™s sensor does not fit to the corresponding data in
the shared context model the system contains an inconsistency. In this case it
is necessary to decide whether the reason for the discrepancy is a change in
the real world or a measurement error. If there is a change in the real world
the shared context model has to be corrected. A single agent can hardly answer
this question using its local world model. This work describes the scenario of
a context model that is shared with and updated by many agents that possess one
or more sensors. In occurrence of an inconsistency it is possible to call other
agents to validate a measurement. The functions to call the other agents are
provided by the Nexus platform, a federation of systems that manages users and
objects in shared dynamic context models. The study reported in this paper
evaluates procedures that combine a multitude of measurements to a single
result that can be integrated in the shared context model. The statistically
optimized procedure based on ratings of the participating agents is enhanced
using scaled weighted arithmetic means which prevents the system from running
into singularities caused by the feedback from the ratings. The method is
combined with an additional preprocessing based on fuzzy clustering that
detects aberrant measurements which can be excluded from further processing.},

the 2D piecewise linear continuous map in canonical form involving the Poincare
Equator (i.e. periodic points at infinity) and its relation to the so called
``dangerous bifurcations'' (following Hassouneh et al. [2004] and Ganguli and
Banerjee [2005]). It will be shown that such regions are related not only to
stable fixed points and repelling saddle cycles, and a more general definition
is proposed. The boundaries of such regions are border collision bifurcations
of cycles on the Poincare Equator.},

showed the principal applicability of this approach for the RoboCup scenario.
Now we test the robustness in case of either intentionally sparse communication
or the behavior in situations, where the communication is massively disturbed.
To overcome the problems caused by this, each robot runs the equations
individually, synchronizing from time to time, or when the communication is
available.},

In a series of three papers, we investigate the chaotic domain without periodic

one-dimensional canonical form for discontinuous maps. In this second part, we
investigate fine substructures nested into the basic structures reported and
explained in part I. It is demonstrated that the overall structure of the
chaotic domain is caused by a complex interaction of bandcount increment,
bandcount adding and bandcount doubling structures, whereby some of them are
nested into each other ad infinitum leading to self-similar structures in the
parameter space.},
