Is the human brain wired for wealth? The setting is the high-velocity financial environment. Undoubtedly, the development of sophisticated derivative instruments has improved the allocation of risk across economies, highlighting the nexus between banking a ...
Recent smartphones incorporate embedded GPS devices that enable users to obtain geographic information about their surroundings by providing a location-based service (LBS) with their current coordinates. However, LBS providers collect a significant amount ...
Supply chains (SC) are complex systems in which human beings play a key role. Whereas human impact is often taken into account in simulation models in terms of physical flows (material handling, fabrication), it is far less the case in terms of information ...
Todays complex online applications often require the interaction of multiple services that potentially belong to different business entities. Interoperability is a core element of such an environment, yet not a straightforward one. In this paper, we argue ...
This research project is an experimental study of decision-making in very difficult contexts resembling those encountered in financial markets. The starting point was the empirical observation that financial assets are objects of a very complex kind. Speci ...
Rational economics and finance surmise that choices decree from a conscious arbitration between alternatives based on decision-theoretically computed values. Implicit in the computation of these option values are the perception and integration of different ...
Computational reputation-based trust models using statistical learning have been intensively studied for distributed systems where peers behave maliciously. However practical applications of such models in environments with both malicious and rational beha ...
In this letter, we consider peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, where multiple peers are interested in sharing their content. In the considered P2P system, autonomous and self-interested peers use a Markov Decision Process (MDP) framework to determine their uploa ...
We describe error-related potentials generated while a human user monitors the performance of an external agent and discuss their use for a new type of Brain-Computer Interaction. In this approach, single trial detection of error-related EEG potentials is ...

One fundamental issue in existing reputation mechanisms, particularly those in open and decentralized multi-agent systems, is whitewashing attacks by rational providers. If identities are cheap, it is beneficial for a provider to simply defect when selling ...
