The paper studies the problem of maintaining external dynamic dictionaries with variable length keys. We introduce a new type of balanced trees, called S(b)-trees, which generaliz...
A Messy Genetic Algorithm is customized toflnd'optimal many-to-many matches for 2D line segment models. The Messy GA is a variant upon the Standard Genetic Algorithm in which...
This paper investigates decision-theoretic planning in sophisticated autonomous agents operating in environments of real-world complexity. An example might be a planetary rover ex...
— The dynamic nature of ad hoc networks advocates the use of adaptive schemes to optimize network performance. Such adaptive schemes require local observations of prevailing netw...
We present negotiation schemes for efficient role adoption that enhance utility in organizations. In one scheme, local utility computations determine role adoption. In the second ...
