Sophisticated agents operating in open environments must make decisions that efficiently trade off the use of their limited resources between dynamic deliberative actions and dom...
This paper discusses the extensions that we have made to Betty’s Brain teachable agent system to help students learn about dynamic processes in a river ecosystem. Students first ...
We present a formal framework to evaluate stochastic properties of MANET protocols. It captures the interplay between stochastic behavior of protocols deployed at different network...
For Peer-2-Peer (P2P) networks to realize their full potential their nodes need to coordinate and cooperate, to improve the performance of the network as a whole. But this requires...
On-the-fly replacement of software may require simultanous distributed updates of components. If an update changes some interfaces or protocols, the update must be performed in a...
