This paper shows how a corpus of instant messages can be employed to detect de facto communities of practice automatically. A novel algorithm based on the concept of Edge Stress F...
Order-based queries over XML data include XPath navigation axes such as following-sibling and following. In this paper, we present holistic algorithms that evaluate such order-bas...

Incorporating coalition formation algorithms into agent systems shall be advantageous due to the consequent increase in the overall quality of task performance. Coalition formatio...
We study a new class of decentralized algorithms for discrete optimization via simulation, which is inspired by the fictitious play algorithm applied to games with identical inte...
We examine a class of collective coin- ipping games that arises from randomized distributed algorithms with halting failures. In these games, a sequence of local coin ips is gener...
