We address performance issues associated with simulationbased algorithms for optimizing Markov reward processes. Specifically, we are concerned with algorithms that exploit the re...
There continues to be increasing interest from a broad range of disciplines in agent-based and artificial life simulations. This includes the Department of Defense--which uses sim...

In this paper, we describe our work-in-progress with collaborative understanding of distributed ontologies in a multiagent framework. As reported earlier, the objective of this fr...
Most network engineering tools are unsatisfactory. Measurements are not predictive, simulations do not scale, and analysis is limited to oversimplified models. To be more useful, ...
Since design is a process in which designers use various kinds of knowledge and it is an open-ended problem, it is difficult to prepare all necessary knowledge before design. Also...
