In the design of resource bounded agents, high-level cognitive activities, such as reasoning, raise important problems related both to the adaptive ability and to the computationa...
Decentralized peer to peer (p2p) networks like Gnutella are attractive for certain applications because they require no centralized directories and no precise control over network ...
Typical applications of evolutionary optimization in static environments involve the approximation of the extrema of functions. For dynamic environments, the interest is not to lo...
Multi-hop ad hoc wireless networks generally use the IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) MAC protocol, which utilizes the request-to-send/clear-to-send (RTS/CTS) me...
In a cooperative multi-agent system that is situated in an evolving environment, agents need to dynamically adjust their negotiation attitudes towards different agents in order to...
