This paper studies adaptive bilateral negotiation between software agents in e-commerce environments. Specifically, we assume that the agents are self-interested, the environment...
Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) are a well-established and rigorous framework for sequential decision-making under uncertainty. POMDPs are well-known to be...
There are a lot of industrial applications that can be solved competitively by hard computing, while still requiring the tolerance for imprecision and uncertainty that can be explo...
Abstract. Current point-based planning algorithms for solving partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) have demonstrated that a good approximation of the value funct...
Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
