Plans for NextGen include the implementation of Net-Centric Operations (NCO) as the underlying mechanism to more effectively manage National Air Transportation System (NAS) resources. NCO mechanisms will provide the means for all agents operating in the NAS to self-synchronize in the presence of changing situations and probabilistic forecasts. Applications of NCO in other domains (e.g. military...

An important way to resolve games of conflict (snowdrift, hawk-dove, chicken) involves adopting a convention: a correlated equilibrium that avoids any conflict between aggressive strategies. Dynamic networks allow individuals to resolve conflict via their network connections rather than changing their strategy. Exploring how behavioural strategies coevolve with social networks reveals new dynam...

The outcomes of conflicts in many human societies generate reputation effects that influence the nature of later conflicts. Those willing to escalate over even trivial offenses are considered honorable whereas those who do not are considered dishonorable (Nisbett & Cohen, 1996). Here I extend Maynard Smith's hawk-dove model of animal conflict to explore the logic of a strategy which uses reputa...

Asian carp have invaded the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, and they are currently threatening the Great Lakes. Their invasion can alter the food web, hence negatively impacting these ecosystems. Electric fences or targeted removal, if implemented correctly, can economically control the invasion. By controlling or preventing the invasion, we can prevent further disruption to these ecosystems.

A multi-agent system (MAS) that composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents can be used to solve problems which are difficult or impossible for an individual agent or monolithic system to solve. Since the agent is autonomous and intelligent, it is reasonable to assume that it choice the behavior to bring itself the maximal benefit. Thus, the cooperation and coordination can be achieved ...

What endogenous factors contribute to minority (Red Queen) or majority King) domination under conditions of coercive bargaining? We build on previous work demonstrating disadvantage in non-coercive bargaining games show that neutral initial conditions, majorities are advantaged high conflict situations, and minorities low games. These effects a function the relationship between (1) relative pro...

Hawk tea (Litsea coreana var. lanuginose) is a very popular herbal tea in the southwest of China. According to the maturity degree of raw materials, Hawk tea can usually be divided into three types: Hawk bud tea (HB), Hawk primary leaf tea (HP), and Hawk mature leaf tea (HM). In this study, some of the bioactive constituents and antioxidant properties of the three kinds of Hawk tea infusions we...

The existence of the Javan hawk-eagle depends on condition forest in its habitat. If lowland is damaged, will be pushed to higher forest; This can affect behavior because it related availability game each habitat type. study aims analyze conditions and Mount Ciremai National Park, using checkered line method focal animal sampling. Analysis used a vegetation analysis approach level use types. re...

This paper studies the intraday payment behavior of banks under the real time gross settlement(RTGS) system. Our game structure is based on Bech and Garratt (2003), with additional stages for recycling reserve. This gives us a variant of the hawk–dove structure, which enables efficient reserve recycling in an equilibrium. Based on this structure, we analyze the welfare effects of introducing a ...
