- Due to the increasing complexity of scientific models, large-scale simulation tools often require a critical amount of computational power to produce results in a reasonable amou...
We sought to create a social embodied conversational agent to support group interactions, using ‘balance theory’ from social science research on human-human relations. We cond...
— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
One of the key issues in designing appropriate and effective learning environments is understanding how learners advance and what factors contribute to their progress. This holds...
A key limitation of current Web services standards is the inability to differentiate service instances at runtime using (nonfunctional) qualities of services (QoS). Such differe...
