Abstract. Emergence--macro-level effects from micro-level causes--is at the heart of the conflict between reductionism and functionalism. How can there be autonomous higher level l...
Allocating resources in networks to QoS flows may require undesirable delays or costs. We consider a dynamic Service Level Agreement (SLA) negotiation scheme between peer autonomo...
Interaction protocols are specific, often standard, constraints on the behaviors of autonomous agents in a multiagent system. Protocols are essential to the functioning of open sys...
Remote sensing of terrain characteristics is an important component for autonomous operation of mobile robots in natural terrain. Often this involves classification of terrain int...
Service-Oriented Architectures provide integration of interoperability for independent and loosely coupled services. Web services and the associated new standards such as WSRF are...
