Abstract. The rapid advances in the computer industry allow building larger systems that require mass storage volumes. As storage space increases, its management becomes increasing...
For the past few years many new applications are being developed featuring interactive environments populated with autonomous virtual agents capable of acting according to their g...
Modeling crowd behavior is an important challenge for cognitive modelers. We propose a novel model of crowd behavior, based on Festinger’s Social Comparison Theory, a social psy...
Referral networks are a kind of P2P system consisting of autonomous agents who seek, provide services, or refer other service providers. Key applications include service discovery...
The world-wide-web (WWW) today consists of distinct, isolated islands of data and metadata. In the near future we expect the availability of a critical mass of data and metadata f...

Abstract. We describe and model a new aspect in the design of distributed information systems. We build upon a previously described problem on the microlevel, which asks how quickl...
This paper compares the performance of two provably successful evolutionary optimization tools in the optimization of a Fuzzy-Rule-Base (FRB) for the three well known fuzzy modeli...
In this paper we present a simple yet accurate model to forecast electricity load with Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). We analyze the problem domain and choose the most adequat...
