The contribution presents a multi-agent technology in the domain of the air-traffic control of several autonomous aerial vehicles (manned as well as unmanned). The system has been validated mainly by the collision avoidance (CA) tasks. Several cooperative and non-cooperative CA methods have been integrated in the system to validate and compare their properties in the scalable experiments. The A...

The communication latency presents a major challenge to achieving high responsiveness for Internet-based cooperative editing systems. In this paper, we propose conflict control locking (post-locking) schemes for conflict resolution in real-time object-based cooperative graphics editors. With these schemes, no locking request is needed before applying an editing operation to an object, instead, ...

in this research the cooperative sector's law has been analyzed under the general headings cooperative as an economic sector, cooperative's and cooperatives :union:’s nature, and damages of the acts to the law and the normal function of cooperatives and at the end it has been analytically concluded that regarding the stated structural and legal deficiencies while keeping the cooperati...

Increasing systematic carbon sinks and clean energy generation proportion are the main ways to reduce emission of power system. In order promote wind accommodation system emissions, a cooperative operation model turbine capture plant (CCPP) is constructed. Then, equivalently transformed into two sub-problems. One optimization sub-problem alliance with goal maximizing benefit. The other benefit ...

Improving energy efficiency (EE) of mobile communication systems (MCSs) has been considered a key aim in recent years, and has been the subject of intense research interest. One of the simplest yet most powerful ways to increase the EE is to turn off redundant communication entities whose operation does not greatly affect the overall performance of the MCS. In this paper, we propose a novel on–...

We study a lattice model of “commons”, where a resource is shared locally among the agents of various cooperative tendency. The payoff function of an agent is proportional to the fraction of his operation rate and the net output of the resource. After each time step a site is occupied by the neighbor of maximum profit or by its owner himself. In steady state the model is dominated by “altruist”...

The coalition government that resulted from the 2010 general election represents a new scenario in the British political marketplace with implications for political marketing theory and practice. The modelling of political marketing in the UK has evolved in relatively stable market conditions in which majority governments are elected; the market restructure arising from the 2010 election outcom...

This paper proposes an approach to generate blending plans using a cooperative multi-agent system. First, a model for the blending problem in batch manufacturing is developed based on operations research principles, which takes into consideration of factors involved in blending plan generation. Second, the architecture of the system is introduced. We describe the structures of control agent and...

Recent findings from fieldwork conducted at emergency operation centers (EOC) suggest that currently deployed emergency management information systems (EMIS) are not supporting properly the anticipation of individual actions in cooperative work. We present these findings in this paper and introduce joint action theory as an interaction approach to design technologies that explicitly provide for...

Spectrum sensing is one of the key elements in the establishment of cognitive radio. One of the most effective approaches for spectrum sensing is cyclostationary feature detection. Since modulated signals can be modeled as cyclostationary random signals, this feature can be used to recognize the cyclostationary modulated signal in a background of stationary noise even at low SNR regimes. This c...
