Exchanging Iterated Expectations of Random Upper Semicontinuous Functions: an application to decision theory
In this paper we present a procedure to deal with a kind of single-stage decision problems with imprecise utilities. In this type of problems the product measurability of the utili...

Compositional Analysis of Expected Delays in Networks of Probabilistic I/O Automata
Probabilistic I/O automata (PIOA) constitute a model for distributed or concurrent systems that incorporates a notion of probabilistic choice. The PIOA model provides a notion of ...

Quality Expectation-Variance Tradeoffs in Crowdsourcing Contests
We examine designs for crowdsourcing contests, where participants compete for rewards given to superior solutions of a task. We theoretically analyze tradeoffs between the expecta...
