This paper uses robot experience to explore key concepts of autonomy, life and being. Unfortunately, there are no widely accepted definitions of autonomy, life or being. Using a ne...
The aim of the research is to investigate techniques that support efficient service scheduling algorithms in a service-oriented fault-tolerant real-time distributed system. Techni...
In recent years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the use of data-centric distributed systems such as global grid infrastructures, sensor networks, network monitoring, and vari...
Table lookup with interpolation is used for many learning and adaptation tasks. Redundant mappings capture the important concept of \motor skill," which is important in real,...
We consider a multiagent resource allocation domain where the marginal production of each resource is diminishing. A set of identical, self-interested agents requires access to sh...
