than distributed systems with latticetype nearest neighbor interactions. Simulation results are presented that demonstrate the role of small-world effects on the speed of consensus algorithms and cooperative control of multi-vehicle formations.

Genetic Algorithms for Multiobjective Optimization: Formulation, Discussion and Generalization

by Carlos M. Fonseca, Peter J. Fleming , 1993
"... The paper describes a rank-based fitness assignment method for Multiple Objective Genetic Algorithms (MOGAs). Conventional niche formation methods are extended to this class of multimodal problems and theory for setting the niche size is presented. The fitness assignment method is then modified to a ..."

A Methodology for Agent-Oriented Analysis and Design

by Michael Wooldridge , Nicholas R. Jennings, David Kinny , 1999
"... This paper presents a methodology for agent-oriented analysis and design. The methodology is general, in that it is applicable to a wide range of multi-agent systems, and comprehensive, in that it deals with both the macro-level (societal) and the micro-level (agent) aspects of systems. The methodol ..."

Maintaining knowledge about temporal intervals

by James F. Allen - COMMUNICATION OF ACM , 1983
"... The problem of representing temporal knowledge arises in many areas of computer science. In applications in which such knowledge is imprecise or relative, current representations based on date lines or time instants are inadequate. An interval-based temporal logic is introduced, together WiUl a comp ..."

Examples.are provided for a data base containing historical data, a d<lta base. used for modeling processes and process interaction, and a data base for an interactive system where the present moment

Content-based image retrieval at the end of the early years

by Arnold W. M. Smeulders, Marcel Worring, Simone Santini, Amarnath Gupta, Ramesh Jain - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... The paper presents a review of 200 references in content-based image retrieval. The paper starts with discussing the working conditions of content-based retrieval: patterns of use, types of pictures, the role of semantics, and the sensory gap. Subsequent sections discuss computational steps for imag ..."
