Predicting the Expected Behavior of Agents that Learn About Agents: The CLRI Framework
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-01)
We describe a framework and equations used to model and predict the behavior of multi-agent systems (MASs) with learning agents. A difference equation is used for calculating the progression of an agent's error in its ...
Browse and Search Patterns in a Digital Image Database
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-01)
A prototype image retrieval system with browse and search capabilities was developed to investigate patterns of searching a collection of digital visual images, as well as factors, such as image size, resolution, and ...
Rational Coordination in Multi-Agent Environments
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-12)
We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm to determine the choice of coordinated ...
Emergent Properties of a Market-based Digital Library with Strategic Agents
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-03)
The University of Michigan Digital Library (UMDL) is designed as an open system that allows third parties to build and integrate their own profit-seeking agents into the marketplace of information goods and services. The ...
Rational Communication in Multi-Agent Environments
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-09)
We address the issue of rational communicative behavior among autonomous self-interested agents that have to make decisions as to what to communicate, to whom, and how. Following decision theory, we postulate that a rational ...
Editorial—A Survey of Research Questions for Intelligent Information Systems in Education
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-01)
Education is an application domain in which many research questions from Intelligent Information Systems may prove their worth. We discuss three themes in this editorial: distributed education and learner modeling, semantic ...
Congregation Formation in Multiagent Systems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-07)
We present congregating both as a metaphor for describing and modeling multiagent systems (MAS) and as a means for reducing coordination costs in large-scale MAS. When agents must search for other agents to interact with, ...
Planning and Resource Allocation for Hard Real-time, Fault-Tolerant Plan Execution
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2001-03)
We describe the interface between a real-time resource allocation system with an AI planner in order to create fault-tolerant plans that are guaranteed to execute in hard real-time. The planner specifies the task set and ...
