This paper examines the notion of symmetry in Markov decision processes (MDPs). We define symmetry for an MDP and show how it can be exploited for more effective learning in singl...
While You're Away (WYA) is a distributed system that aggregates the computational power of individual computer systems. WYA introduces the notion of Roaming Computations - Ja...
Organisations can be defined as a set of entities regulated by mechanisms of social order and created by more or less autonomous actors to achieve common goals. Multi-agent systems...
A new methodology is presented in this paper for resource management in a metacomputing environment using a hierarchy of homogeneous agents that has the capability of service disco...
Reinforcement learning techniques are increasingly being used to solve di cult problems in control and combinatorial optimization with promising results. Implicit imitation can acc...
