Distributed allocation mechanisms rely on the agents' autonomous (and supposedly rational) behaviour: states evolve as a result of agents contracting deals and exchanging res...
Decentralized Markov decision processes are frequently used to model cooperative multi-agent systems. In this paper, we identify a subclass of general DEC-MDPs that features regul...
Abstract. We propose a computational method for reconstructing metabolic networks. The method utilizes optimization techniques and graph traversal algorithms to discover a set of b...
Abstract. The existing Web service management solutions are almost exclusively focused on optimization of technical QoS metrics (e.g., availability). However, financial (e.g., prof...
A frequently proposed solution to node misbehavior in mobile ad hoc networks is to use reputation systems. But in ephemeral networks - a new breed of mobile networks where contact...
