In this paper, we present several general policies for deciding when to share probabilistic beliefs between agents for distributed monitoring. In order to evaluate these policies,...
Applications for mobile devices have some restrictions because of the limited capabilities and heterogeneity of these devices. However, their communication capabilities allow the d...
Because of privacy concerns, agents may not want to reveal information that could be of use in problem solving. As a result, there are potentially important tradeoffs between main...
This paper proposes an alternative paradigm for building affective competencies in embodied conversational agents (ECAs). The key feature of this approach -- and the reason for ref...
Large systems of agents deployed in a real-world environment face threats to their problem solving performance that are independent of the complexity of the problem or the charact...
