A Multi-agent system (MAS) is an open distributed system of agents. The agents in a MAS may form certain specific groups, where agents in each group jointly engage in solving a s...
We describe the design and evaluation of a virtual agent that explains health documents to patients. The prevalence and impact of low health literacy is presented as a motivation f...

Cellular radios consume more power and suffer reduced data rate when the signal is weak. According to our measurements, the communication energy per bit can be as much as 6x highe...
Motivated by the study of algorithmic problems in the domain of information security, in this paper, we study the complexity of a new class of computations over a collection of va...
Abstract. Global computing applications co-ordinate distributed computations across widely-dispersed hosts. Such systems present formidable design and implementation challenges to ...
