An ever growing number of deployed wireless networks dictates a tempo with which the inter-network cooperation techniques are being developed. Cooperation, in this sense, can go far beyond a simple activation of an interference avoidance techniques. This paper describes and evaluates the performance of a reinforcement learning based reasoning engine, used in a selflearning, cognitively controll...

BACKGROUND The relations between geographical proximity and spatial distance constitute a popular topic of concern. Thus, how geographical proximity affects scientific cooperation, and whether geographically proximate scientific cooperation activities in fact exhibit geographic scale features should be investigated. METHODOLOGY Selected statistics from the ISI database on cooperatively author...

Human populations are both highly cooperative and highly organized. Human interactions are not random but rather are structured in social networks. Importantly, ties in these networks often are dynamic, changing in response to the behavior of one's social partners. This dynamic structure permits an important form of conditional action that has been explored theoretically but has received little...
