In this paper, we consider a three-user cognitive radio network with two primary users and one cognitive radio. We concentrate on a three-user Interference Channel (IFC) where one of the transmitters has cognitive capabilities and non-causally knows the messages of the other two transmitters. Moreover, we assume that the cognitive transmitter does not cause any interference at the receivers of the primary users and we introduce three-user Cognitive Z-Interference Channel (C-ZIFC). We first obtain an inner bound on the capacity region of three-user C-ZIFC, where our coding scheme makes use of collaborative strategy by rate splitting and cooperative strategy by superposition coding. Moreover,... 

Design and implementation of Architecture is a knowledge-driven process. Evaluation and verification the knowledge, in order to ensure its quality, have important role in improving overall design process. Furthermore, Architectural decision making is a complex and multi-criteria decision making problem in which multiple stakeholders make decisions from their perspectives causing overlaps and conflicts in the adopted decisions. Therefore, the requirement for strategies to manage these issues and also to improve coordination and cooperation among the various stakeholders to improve the overall process design is necessary. In this regard, there have been several activities that focus on...
