The concept of Dynamic Neural Networks (DNN) is a new approach within the Neural Network paradigm, which is based on the dynamic construction of Neural Networks during the processi...
Previous experimental results have clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of utilizing context-specific independence (CSI) in probabilistic inference. However, CSI is a special cas...
Recently, two advances in agent-oriented software engineering have had a significant impact: the identification of interaction and coordination as the central focus of multi-agent ...
We address long-term coalitions that are formed of both customer and vendor agents after evaluating their trust relationships with other agents in the system. We present a coalitio...
