In this paper we implement a computational model of a neuromodulatory system in an autonomous robot. The output of the neuromodulatory system acts as a value signal, modulating wi...
Abstract. We study the interaction between network effects and external incentives on file sharing behavior in Peerto-Peer (P2P) networks. Many current or envisioned P2P networks r...
The paper explores a very simple agent design method called Q-decomposition, wherein a complex agent is built from simpler subagents. Each subagent has its own reward function and...
Abstract. Neuromodulators can have a strong effect on how organisms cooperate and compete for resources. To better understand the effect of neuromodulation on cooperative behavior,...
