Designing tree-structured organizations for computational agents
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-09)
We describe a framework for defining the space of organization designs for computational agents, use our framework for analyzing the expected performance of a class of organizations, and describe how our analyses can be ...
Improving Learning Performance by Applying Economic Knowledge
(2004)
Digital information economies require information goods producers to learn how to position themselves within a potentially vast product space. Further, the topography of this space is often nonstationary, due to the ...
Toward a theory of honesty and trust among communicating autonomous agents
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1993-09)
This article outlines, through a number of examples, a method that can be used by autonomous agents to decide among potential messages to send to other agents, without having to assume that a message must be truthful and ...
An Efficient and Robust Computational Framework for Studying Lifetime and Information Capacity in Sensor Networks
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-12)
In this paper we investigate the expected lifetime and information capacity , defined as the maximum amount of data (bits) transferred before the first sensor node death due to energy depletion, of a data-gathering wireless ...
A Market-Based Approach to Optimal Resource Allocation in Integrated-Services connection-Oriented Networks
(2002-07)
We present an approach to the admission control and resource allocation problem in connection-oriented networks that offer multiple services to users. Users' preferences are summarized by means of their utility functions, ...
Biased Replacement Policies for Web Caches: Differential Quality-of-Service and Aggregate User Value
(1999)
Disk space in shared Web caches can be diverted to serve some system users at the expense of others. Cache hits reduce server loads, and if servers desire load reduction to different degrees, a replacement policy which ...
A chronic implant for recording of cochlear potentials in primates This work was supported in part by NIH Program Project grant NS 05785-08 and NINDS Special Fellowship 5F11 NS2425-02.
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1973-03)
A new technique for the continuous recording of peripheral bioelectrical activity in the auditory system of primates is described. Because of basic differences in the anatomy of the temporal bone, the approach to the round ...
Model Selection in an Information Economy: Choosing what to Learn
(2002-11)
In an economy in which a producer must learn the preferences of a consumer population, it is faced with a classic decision problem: when to explore and when to exploit. If the producer has a limited number of chances to ...
A comparative study of bandwidth reservation and admission control schemes in QoS‐sensitive cellular networks
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-07)
This paper compares five different schemes – called CHOI, NAG, AG, BHARG, and NCBF – for reserving bandwidths for handoffs and admission control for new connection requests in QoS‐sensitive cellular networks. CHOI and NAG ...
