DISCLAIMER: The Graph Chatbot is not programmed to provide explicit or categorical answers to your questions. Rather, it transforms your questions into API requests that are distributed across the various IT services officially administered by EPFL. Its purpose is solely to collect and recommend relevant references to content that you can explore to help you answer your questions.
Individual choices are either based on personal experience or on information provided by peers. The latter case causes individuals to conform to the majority in their neighbourhood. Such herding behaviour may be very efficient in aggregating disperse priva ...
This doctoral thesis examines the value of information in settings, where two or more agents interact. In such situations, contrary to one-person decision problems, a more informative signal is not necessarily more valuable, and it may be profit-maximizing ...
We present a new robotic concept, called SWARM-BOT, based on a swarm of small and simple autonomous mobile robots called S-BOTs. S-BOTs have a particular assembling capability that allows them to connect physically to other S-BOTs and form a bigger robot e ...
In a systematic way, the impact of chaos present in transmitters for chaos based communications is discussed; based on arguments from information theory. Conditions for the optimality of communication systems involving chaos in the transmitter are develope ...
This paper presents an investigation of three communication schemes which may be used in a distributed robotic system, two based on implicit forms of communication (mechanical interaction and vision) and one on an explicit form of communication (infrared s ...
This paper is concerned with adaptation capabilities of evolved neural controllers. We propose to evolve mechanisms for parameter self-organization instead of evolving the parameters themselves. The method consists of encoding a set of local adaptation rul ...
Network Calculus is a set of recent developments, which provide a deep insight into flow problems encountered in networking. It can be viewed as the system theory that applies to computer networks. Contrary to traditional system theory, it relies on max-pl ...
Chaotic synchronization is treated within the framework of information theory. It is shown that information theory implies fundamental limits to chaotic synchronization in the presence of channel noise. With regard for these limits, a scheme is suggested f ...
The charge transport in dye-sensitized nanostructured TiO2 was studied by laser pulse induced photocurrent transients. The exptl. curves were compared to simulations using a diffusion model with an initial electron distribution of an exponential decay. The ...
