In this paper we present a rich decision model for intelligent agents involved in multi issue negotiations. The model, grounded on information theory, takes into account the aspec...
Virtual machines are widely accepted as a promising basis for building secure systems. However, while virtual machines offer effective mechanisms to create isolated environments, ...
Pervasive computing allows data to be collected using sensors and mobile devices. Recent studies, however, show that in emergency and crisis situations conventional access control ...
Interactions between agents in an open system such as the Internet require a significant degree of flexibility. A crucial aspect of the development of such methods is the notion o...
—This paper presents a new method developed for the optimal design of microrobotic compliant mechanisms. It is based on a flexible building block method, called FlexIn, which use...
