We introduce a class of voting rules called generalized scoring rules. Under such a rule, each vote generates a vector of k scores, and the outcome of the voting rule is based onl...
In many settings, a group of agents must come to a joint decision on multiple issues. In practice, this is often done by voting on the issues in sequence. In this paper, we model ...
on models are abstract representations of systems one wants to study through computer simulation. In multiagent based simulation, such models usually represent agents and their re...
Distributed simulation enables participants situated in different geographical locations to share a common virtual world, which is called a Distributed Virtual Environment (DVE). ...
