The success of schema integration in multidatabase systems relies heavily on the determination of complete and refined correspondence relationships between them. So, the candidate...
Cooperative games are those in which both agents share the same payoff structure. Valuebased reinforcement-learning algorithms, such as variants of Q-learning, have been applied t...

Local search is a powerful and well-established method for solving hard combinatorial problems. Yet, until recently, it has provided very little user support, leading to time-consu...
This paper proposes a formalism for reasoning about distributed object-oriented computations. The formalism is an extension of Milner’s CCS with the notion of local time. It allo...
