Since participants in a computational Grid may be independent bodies, some mechanisms are necessary for resolving their differences. The contribution of this work is designing a b...
We describe a general model for embedding object-oriented constructs into calculi of mobile agents. The model results from extending agents with methods and primitives for message ...
Abstract. The inclusion of additional modalities into the communicative behavior of virtual agents besides speech has moved into focus of human-computer interface researchers, as h...
In this paper, we define a continuum of modeling styles, ranging from collections of very simple agents on one end to collections of very complex agents at the other end, and a s...
Ranking plays a central role in many Web search and information retrieval applications. Ensemble ranking, sometimes called meta-search, aims to improve the retrieval performance b...
