A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
This paper focuses on a framework for representing a team plan and its projections on individual agents. The team plan is represented with a coloured Petri net. Using the implicit...
This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
There has been a growing interest in designing multi-agent based interactive dramas. A key research challenge faced in the design of these systems is to support open-ended user in...
It has long been recognized that capturing term relationships is an important aspect of information retrieval. Even with large amounts of data, we usually only have significant ev...
