Object-oriented legacy systems are hard to maintain because they are hard to understand. One of the main understanding problems is revealed by the so-called ”yo-yo effect” tha...
This paper analyzes implementable social choice functions (in dominant strategies) over restricted domains of preferences, the leading example being combinatorial auctions. Our wo...
We define a hierarchy of term systems Tk by means of restrictions of the recursion schema. We essentially use a pointer technique together with tiering. We prove Tk NCk Tk+1 , for ...
Researchers in the field of multiagent sequential decision making have commonly used the terms “weakly-coupled” and “loosely-coupled” to qualitatively classify problems i...
Current large-scale topology mapping systems require multiple days to characterize the Internet due to the large amount of probing traffic they incur. The accuracy of maps from ex...
