Two distinct learning mechanisms are considered for a population of agents who engage in decentralized search for the common optimum. An agent may choose to learn via innovation (...
This paper describes the Smart Operation of Networked Appliances (SONA) system which realizes the autonomous and asynchronous operation of networked appliances by using mobile age...
Grid technology has been widely used for large-scale computational problems, but it also provides a framework for running a big number of smallsized processes. Moreover, these proc...
Many important and useful applications for software agents require multiple agents on a network that communicate with each other. Such agents must find each other and perform a u...
