Inverted files are widely used to index documents in large-scale information retrieval systems. An inverted file consists of posting lists, which can be stored in either a documen...
We introduce the study of sequential information elicitation in strategic multi-agent systems. In an information elicitation setup a center attempts to compute the value of a func...
Increased complexity of simulation models and the related modeling needs for global supply chains have necessitated the execution of simulations on multiple processors. While dist...
The paper generalizes the notion of a social law, the foundation of the theory of artificial social systems developed for coordinating Multi-Agent Systems. In an artificial social...
For the task of recognizing dialogue acts, we are applying the Transformation-Based Learning (TBL) machine learning algorithm. To circumvent a sparse data problem, we extract valu...
