In this paper we present a system that automatically generates a 3D virtual world from a virtual institution (VI) specification, namely of activities that will take place in the v...
In this paper we propose the design of an agent for the ART Testbed, a tool created with the goal of objectively evaluate different trust strategies. The agent design includes a tr...
Problems in which some entities interact with each other are common in computational intelligence. This scenario, typical for co-evolving artificial-life agents, learning strategie...
Workloads that comb through vast amounts of data are gaining importance in the sciences. These workloads consist of "needle in a haystack" queries that are long running ...
Object-oriented technologies are frequently used to design and implement distributed applications. Object replication is a well-established approach to increase the dependability f...
