In this work, we explore how local interactions can simplify the process of decision-making in multiagent systems, particularly in multirobot problems. We review a recent decision-...
The objective of query optimizers is to select a good execution plan for a given query. In a distributed system, it is crucial for a query optimizer to have effective remote cost e...
The probabilistic network technology is a knowledgebased technique which focuses on reasoning under uncertainty. Because of its well defined semantics and solid theoretical founda...
This article reports on the current state of our efforts to shed light on the origin and evolution of linguistic diversity using synthetic modeling and arti cial life es. We constr...
Planning algorithms have traditionally been geared toward achievement goals in single-agent environments. Such algorithms essentially produce plans to reach one of a specified se...
