This paper describes the Mediating Agent, an animated pedagogical agent inserted in a computational system for distance learning, which has the goal of motivating the student to le...
Recently a new generation of virtual worlds has emerged in which users are provided with open-ended modelling tools with which they can create and modify world content. The result...
A vast number of sweet tasting molecules are known, encompassing small compounds, carbohydrates, D-amino acids and large proteins. Carbohydrates play a particularly big role in hu...
We consider auction design in a setting with costly preference elicitation. Well designed auctions can help to avoid unnecessary elicitation while determining efficient allocations...
In Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) systems, computational models are built as multi-agent systems (MAS). Replication of these models can contribute to improve the reliability o...
