One of the more convincing interpretations of mixed strategy equilibria describes a mixed equilibrium as a steady state in a large population in which all players use pure strategies but the population as a whole mimics a mixed strategy. To be complete, however, this interpretation requires a good story about how the population arrives at the appropriate distribution over pure strategies. In th...

This paper describes a strategy for mixed-initiative spoken dialogue management. The strategy is outlined, and two experiments are carried out to investigate the methodology. The experiments are carried out within the Esprit OVID1project. The OVID project is concerned with the development of trial applications within automated banking services [1]. Among other things, the OVID user specificatio...

The authors present a simple and effective method for improving student comprehension of mixed strategies. After reviewing available texts, and with some trial and error, we feel that this method eases the teaching of the information and increases the students’ ability to understand and retain concepts.Through a simple alteration to the normal form of a game, students can clearly see the result...

Visual search in an important aspect of many tasks, but it is not well understood how many aspects of layout design affect visual search. This research investigates, with reaction time and eye movement data, the effect of local density on the visual search of structured layouts of words. Layouts were allsparse, all-dense, or mixed. Participants found targets in sparse groups faster even after n...

Inspired by evolutionary game theory, this paper modifies previous mixed strategy framework, adding a new mutation operator and extending to crossover operation, and proposes co-evolutionary algorithms based on mixed crossover and/or mutation strategy. The mixed mutation strategy set consists of Gaussian, Cauchy, Levy, single point and differential mutation operators; the mixed crossover strate...

Last chapter motivated the quest for effective solutions to software evolution beyond conventional techniques. Among many problems complicating evolution of programs, two are particularly acute, namely poor visibility of changes, and explosion of look-a-like component versions caused by weak generic design capabilities of conventional techniques. If similarities and differences among past relea...
