Decision making plays an important role in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, statistics and many other fields. In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...

Cognitive Internet of Things (CIoT) mainly consists of a group of autonomous nodes (ANs) which are commonly combined into domains and should have the intelligence to perceive, analyze, decide and act. Cooperation has shown to be a good technique for collective behavior of ANs that locally interact with each other in distributed environments. In this paper, we study the cooperative decision-maki...

In this description document, we outline the main ideas behind our entry to the RoboCup 2011 2D Soccer Simulation League competition. This simulated soccer team, EdInferno.2D, represents our debut in this league. The major research issue that drives our effort is that of cooperative sequential decision making and online learning in environments that continually change. We outline a framework fo...

Virtual geographic environments (VGE) are environments pertaining to the relationship between post-humans and 3-D virtual worlds. Post-humans are defined as a combination of humans in the real world with 3-D avatars in 3-D virtual worlds. VGE can be a platform for the public participation in spatial data analyses, in model computation and simulation, and in environmental planning and decision m...
