This technical report provides an evaluation of several possible languages and semantic formalisms that could be used in agent communication to play the role of a content language in the EU Agentcities.RTD project. The conclusions and background informatio ...
This paper presents a multiagent-system for integrating AL-ICE: a real-life, distributed, large-scale particle physics experiment of the LHC project at CERN. The work is concerned with solving the large-scale coordination problem using a distributed constr ...
In the past decade, networked virtual environments (NVEs) have been an increasingly active area of research, with the first commercial systems emerging recently. Graphical and behavioral representation of users within such systems is a particularly importa ...
This thesis presents Fuzzy CoCo, a novel approach for system design, conducive to explaining human decisions. Based on fuzzy logic and coevolutionary computation, Fuzzy CoCo is a methodology for constructing systems able to accurately predict the outcome o ...
The database and information retrieval communities have long been recognized as being irreconcilable. Today, however, we witness a surprising convergence of the techniques used by both communities in decentralized, large-scale environments. The newly emerg ...
We consider data gathering by a network with a sink node and a tree communication structure, where the goal is to minimize the total transmission cost of transporting the information, collected by the nodes, to the sink node. This problem requires a joint ...
This paper investigates three questions related to endogenous information and knowledge disclosure by firms: Which industry sectors are more apt to disclose information and knowledge? Why is such knowledge released? Is knowledge disclosure an efficient str ...
We delegate increasingly sophisticated and complex tasks to computer programs, and we require them to act autonomously on our behalf in distributed environments (eg the web, the grid). Personal Assistants (PA) are computer programs that can be thought as a ...
We present here an explicit time-domain representation of any compactly supported dyadic scaling function as a sum of harmonic splines. The leading term in the decomposition corresponds to the fractional splines, a recent, continuous-order generalization o ...
Modeling approaches often are not adapted to human reasoning: models are ambiguous and imprecise. A same model element may have multiple meanings in different functional roles of a system. Existing modeling approaches do not relate explicitly these functio ...
