Negotiation in Semi-cooperative Agreement Problems
In this paper we introduce the Semi-Cooperative Extended Incremental Multiagent Agreement Problem with Preferences (SC-EIMAPP). In SC-EIMAPPs, variables arise over time. For each ...

Extracting a largest redundancy-free XML storage structure from an acyclic hypergraph in polynomial time
Given a hypergraph and a set of embedded functional dependencies, we investigate the problem of determining the conditions under which we can efficiently generate redundancy-free ...
