A popular empirical technique to measure norms uses coordination games elicit what subjects in an experiment consider appropriate behavior a given situation (Krupka and Weber J Eur Econ Assoc 11(3):495–524, 2013). The Krupka–Weber method works under the assumption that use their normative expectations solve game. However, might alternative focal points coordinate, which case may deliver distort...

The literature on silos in government often focuses their failure to engage effectively horizontal coordination. While this is true, silos-dominant administrative systems may still find ways overcome or prevent incoherence government. problem not so much with the structure of but lack effective coordination mechanisms between them. Therefore, it important identify what enable work successfully ...

The problem of finding an agreement on the meaning of heterogeneous knowledge sources is one of the key issues in the development of the distributed knowledge management applications. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for discovering semantic mappings across heterogeneous schemas. This approach shifts the problem of semantic coordination from the problem of computing linguistic or struc...

This paper presents Haskell#, a coordination language targetedat the efficient implementation of parallel scientific applications onloosely coupled parallel architectures, using the functional languageHaskell. Its programming environment encompasses an editor, a com-piler into Petri nets, a Petri net animator and proof tool, and a skele-ton library. Examples of applicati...

We address the problem of constructing multiagent systems by coordinating heterogeneous , autonomous agents, whose internal designs may not be fully known. We develop a customizable coordination service that (a) takes declarative speciications of the desired interactions, and (b) automatically enacts them. Our approach is based on temporal logic, and has a rigorous semantics and a naturally dis...

In groupware, users must communicate about their intentions and maintain common knowledge via communication channels that are explicitly designed into the system. Depending upon the task, generic communication tools like chat or a shared whiteboard may not be sufficient to support effective coordination. We have previously reported on a methodology that helps the designer develop task specific ...

We studied the representations underlying audiovisual integration using a priming paradigm. Audiovisual primes, preceding auditory targets, were either incongruent (auditory /ba/ & visual /va/) or congruent (auditory /va/ & visual /va/, auditory /ba/ & visual /ba/). The targets were /ba/ or /va/. The intensity of the prime ́s auditory component was either 50 dB or 60 dB. Identification speed of ...
