We sketch the fundamental properties and features of Snoopy, a tool to model and execute (animate, simulate) hierarchical graph-based system descriptions. The tool comes along wit...
This paper explores the idea that the universe is a virtual reality created by information processing, and relates this strange idea to the findings of modern physics about the ph...
Our proposed methods employ learning and search techniques to estimate outcome features of interest as a function of mechanism parameter settings. We illustrate our approach with ...

We present a method for transferring knowledge learned in one task to a related task. Our problem solvers employ reinforcement learning to acquire a model for one task. We then tra...

In this paper we investigate how consistency can be ensured for replicated continuous interactive media, i.e., replicated media which change their state in reaction to user initia...
