Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their integration in the smart grid are challenges that sustainable societies have to tackle. Uncontrolled EV charging increases peak power demand, whi...
We investigate the effects of market making on market performance, focusing on allocative efficiency as well as gains from trade accrued by background traders. We employ empirica...
We present an approach to the problem of learning by observation in spatially-situated tasks, whereby an agent learns to imitate the behaviour of an observed expert with no intera...

In this paper we present a self-organizing model for open virtual environments in multi-agent based simulation systems. Open environments are inaccessible, non-deterministic, dyna...
Abstract. The chase procedure is considered as one of the most fundamental algorithmic tools in database theory. It has been successfully applied to different database problems suc...
A relational database is said to be uncertain if primary key constraints can possibly be violated. A repair (or possible world) of an uncertain database is obtained by selecting a...
