Multi-Agent Adaptive Mechanism Leading to Optimal Real-Time Load Sharing

We propose a new real-time load sharing policy (LSP), which optimally dispatches the incoming workload according to the current availability of the operators. Optimality means here that the global service permanently requires the engagement of a minimum nu ...

A short and versatile finite element multiscale code for homogenization problems

Assyr Abdulle, Achim Nonnenmacher

We describe a multiscale finite element (FE) solver for elliptic or parabolic problems with highly oscillating coefficients. Based on recent developments of the so-called heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM), the algorithm relies on coupled macro- and mic ...

The Heard-Of model: computing in distributed systems with benign faults

André Schiper

Problems in fault-tolerant distributed computing have been studied in a variety of models. These models are structured around two central ideas: (1) degree of synchrony and failure model are two independent parameters that determine a particular type of sy ...

Genetic Team Composition and Level of Selection in the Evolution of Cooperation

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller, Markus Waibel

In cooperative multiagent systems, agents interact to solve tasks. Global dynamics of multiagent teams result from local agent interactions, and are complex and difficult to predict. Evolutionary computation has proven a promising approach to the design of ...

Distributed Boundary Coverage with a Team of Networked Miniature Robots using a Robust Market-Based Algorithm

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll, Patrick Amstutz

We study distributed boundary coverage of known environments using a team of miniature robots. Distributed boundary coverage is an instance of the multi-robot task-allocation problem and has applications in inspection, cleaning, and painting among others. ...

Decision Making in Financial Markets

Finance does not represent the desirability of a gamble in terms of a score on a unidimensional scale, but rather in terms of the trade-off or conflict between various statistical features of the payoff. The approach facilitates computations and dramatical ...

Multiscale Modelling of Urban Climate

Darren Robinson, Adil Rasheed

Climate Modelling is a complex task. One of the most important reasons is the presence of a large variety of spatio-temporal scales. There are climatic changes that take place over a time period of a few months and then there are gusts which might last onl ...

Modelling price pressure in financial markets

We present experimental evidence that, unlike traditional assumptions in economic theory, security prices do not respond to pressure from their own excess demand. Instead, prices respond to excess demand of all securities, despite the absence of a direct l ...

Characterising Conversationsal Group Dynamics Using Nonverbal Behaviour

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Dinesh Babu Jayagopi

This paper addresses the novel problemof characterizing conversational group dynamics. It is well documented in social psychology that depending on the objectives a group, the dynamics are different. For example, a competitive meeting has a different objec ...

Szenarien für die nachhaltige Siedlungs- und Infrastrukturentwicklung in der Schweiz (2005-2030)

Martin Schuler, Alain Nicolas Jarne

Spatial development patterns in Switzerland and future development trends and infrastructure requirements are not only the result of decisions at Swiss federal or cantonal levels, but also considerably influenced by developments in the EU. In the collabora ...
