: The problem of patient scheduling in hospitals is characterized by high uncertainty and dynamics in patient treatments. Additional complexity in the planning and coordination pro...
We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm t...
It has been shown that sets of convergent operators with a shared fixed point can simulate autonomic control mechanisms, but many questions remain about this management technique....
: The design and development of Internet applications, requiring dynamic and possibly mobile access to Internet resources, can take advantage of an approach based on autonomous mob...
Autonomous agents interacting in an open world can be considered to be primarily driven by self interests. Previous work in this area has prescribed a strategy of reciprocal behav...
