In this paper we describe a multi-agent simulation called the Human Agent Virtual Environment (or HAVE). HAVE is a test bed to explore agent-environment interaction in multiagent ...
We address two problems in the field of automatic optimization of dialogue strategies: learning effective dialogue strategies when no initial data or system exists, and evaluating...
HYPENS is an open source tool to simulate timed discrete, continuous and hybrid Petri nets. It has been developed in Matlab to allow designer and user to take advantage of several...
Parallel independent disks can enhance the performance of external memory (EM) algorithms, but the programming task is often di cult. In this paper we develop randomized variants ...
We consider the problem of solving a nonhomogeneous infinite horizon Markov Decision Process (MDP) problem in the general case of potentially multiple optimal first period polic...
