Mobility tracking is concerned with finding a mobile subscriber (MS) within the area serviced by the wireless network. The two basic operations for tracking an MS, location updating and paging, constitute additional load on the wireless network. The total cost of updating and paging can be minimized by optimally dividing the cellular area into location registration (LR) areas. In current system...

For many Internet applications, the ability to protect the identity of participants in a distributed applications is critical. For such applications, a number of anonymous communication systems have been realized over the recent years. The effectiveness of these systems relies greatly on the way messages are routed among the participants. (We call this the route selection strategy.) In this pap...

This paper considers the communication patterns arising from the partition of geometrical domain into sub-domains, when data is exchanged between processors assigned to adjacent sub-domains. It presents the algorithm constructing bipartite graphs covering the graph representation of the partitioned domain, as well as the scheduling algorithm utilizing the coloring of the bipartite graphs. Speci...

In complex application systems, there are typically not only autonomous components which can be represented by agents, but humans may also play a role. The interaction between agents and humans can be learned to enhance the stability of a system. How can agents adopt strategies of humans to solve conflict situations? In this paper, we present a learning algorithm for agents based on interaction...

INTRODUCTION Message framing, a strategy of advertising message construction, is widely adopted in various forms of brand advertising campaigns. The hedonic principles of approach (happiness) and avoidance (pain), well established in motivation psychology, lay down the theoretical foundation upon which the core concept of message framing is developed (Wedell, 1997). The positive framing, center...

Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
