This paper describes a novel method of achieving load balancing in telecommunications networks. A simulated network models a typical distribution of calls between arbitrary nodes;...
We take the position that autonomous agents, when they interact with people, should be governed by the same principles that underlie human collaboration. These principles come fro...
Believable agents are defined to be interactive versions of quality characters in traditional artistic media like film. Such agents are useful in applications such as interactive ...
The information access and retrieval capabilities provided by several conventional search engines, while improving upon traditional techniques, are lacking in supporting conceptua...
We address in this paper a problem of autonomous agents performing in a common environment where each agent has its goal to achieve before a given deadline. Agents must be able to...
The Patient Advocate is designed to be an intelligent assistant for patient-centered health care. Residing on a home computer or special-purpose device and operating within an ext...
In this paper we present an efficient technique allowing distant grasp behaviors while preserving the static balance. This feature greatly increases the autonomy of virtual humans...
