Intelligent agents: Theory and practice
- The Knowledge Engineering Review
, 1995
"... The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we perceive to be the most important theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and construction of intelligent age ..."

of agents. Agent architectures can be thought of as software engineering models of agents; researchers in this area are primarily concerned with the problem of designing software or hardware systems that will satisfy the prop-erties specified by agent theorists. Finally, agent languages are software systems
Inverted files for text search engines
- ACM Computing Surveys
, 2006
"... The technology underlying text search engines has advanced dramatically in the past decade. The development of a family of new index representations has led to a wide range of innovations in index storage, index construction, and query evaluation. While some of these developments have been consolida ..."

Review: information technology and organizational performance: an integrative model of IT business value
, 2004
"... Despite the importance to researchers, managers, and policy makers of how information technology (IT) contributes to organizational performance, there is uncertainty and debate about what we know and don’t know. A review of the literature reveals that studies examining the association between infor ..."

information technology and organizational performance are divergent in how they conceptualize key constructs and their interrelationships. We develop a model of IT business value based on the resource-based view of the firm that integrates the various strands of research into a single framework. We apply
Consumer acceptance of electronic commerce: Integrating trust and risk with the technology acceptance model
- International Journal of Electronic Commerce
, 2003
"... ABSTRACT: This paper aims to predict consumer acceptance of e-commerce by proposing a set of key drivers for engaging consumers in on-line transactions. The primary constructs for capturing consumer acceptance of e-commerce are intention to transact and on-line transaction behavior. Following the th ..."

An Overview of MIMO Communications: A Key to Gigabit Wireless
- Proc. IEEE
, 2004
"... High data rate wireless communications, nearing 1 Gigabit/second (Gbps) transmission rates, is of interest in emerging Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) and home Audio/Visual (A/V) networks. Designing very high speed wireless links that offer good Quality-of-Service (QoS) and range capability in ..."

in Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) environments constitutes a significant research and engineering challenge. Ignoring fading in NLOS environments, we can, in principle, meet the 1Gbps data rate requirement with a single-transmit single-receive antenna wireless system if the product of bandwidth (measured in Hz
Foundations for engineering biology.
- Nature
