In this paper, we consider the problem of the mechanism design for the multi-agents system. We develop the social learning model for the mechanism design for creating the collective action with an efficient cost sharing rule. We consider the situation in which self-interest agents have incentives to cooperate each other for jointly acquiring the environmental level with sharing the necessary co...

Navigation support will form a critical component of future mobile computing systems. However, the ability of people to navigate in unfamiliar environments can vary substantially. In this paper, it is argued that the current generation of mobile devices and associated software does not adequately support the navigational requirements of a broad segment of users and that alternative strategies a...

When asked to pitch for some work for a new client, as a first step you should think about whether to ask the client to sign a non-disclosure agreement in advance of the pitch meeting. This document (which is also referred to as an “NDA” or a confidentiality agreement) is an express acknowledgement by the client that he or she will keep your ideas confidential, and will only use them for the pu...

Wireless Sensor Networks have become an important research topic in last years. WSN is a collection of tiny, large number of densely deployed sensor node; these sensor nodes are smart, effective which is very powerful and versatile networking where traditional wired and wireless networking is unable to deploy. These sensor nodes have limited transmission range, processing and storage capabiliti...

Due to advance in semiconductor manufacturing technology, integration of whole electronics system on a single chip is feasible. Starting with baseline CMOS logic, semiconductor wafer manufacturers have gradually added to their portfolio embedded memory (SRAM, OPT, Flash), mixed signal devices, RF devices, and even MEMS. Because it offers many advantages over traditional multiple-chip solutions,...

0272-1732/99/$10.00  1999 IEEE Deep-submicron technology allows billions of transistors on a single die, potentially running at gigahertz frequencies. According to Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) projections, the number of transistors per chip and the local clock frequencies for high-performance microprocessors will continue to grow exponentially in the near future, as Figure 1 (on th...

The use of physics simulation in games is an important step that increases the overall level of realism, but it is a significant increase in complexity. This paper provides an overview of simulation issues that a games designer should be aware of before planning an ambitious use of physics.

This essay is concerned about how to evaluate positive theories on Latin American development. Its content is nested in a broader discussion on theoretical decay and theoretical progress by using Imre Lakatos’ approach of sophisticated falsificationism. The main argument states that theory driven research on Latin American development provides further evidence to the assumption that methodologi...
