Computation plays a major role in decision making. Even if an agent is willing to ascribe a probability to all states and a utility to all outcomes, and maximize expected utility,...

Agents often have preference models that are more complicated than minimizing the expected execution cost. In this paper, we study how they should act in the presence of uncertaint...
In this paper, we present some of our ongoing experimental research towards investigating advantages of modeling other agents in multiagent environments. We attempt to quantify the...
Two strategies are used for the allocation of jobs to processors connected by mesh topologies: contiguous allocation and non-contiguous allocation. In noncontiguous allocation, a ...
