Ant Colony System: A cooperative learning approach to the traveling salesman problem
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION
, 1997
"... This paper introduces the ant colony system (ACS), a distributed algorithm that is applied to the traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the ACS, a set of cooperating agents called ants cooperate to find good solutions to TSP’s. Ants cooperate using an indirect form of communication mediated by a pher ..."

ALLIANCE: An Architecture for Fault Tolerant Multi-Robot Cooperation
- IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation
, 1998
"... ALLIANCE is a software architecture that fa- cilitates the fault tolerant cooperative control of teams of heterogeneous mobile robots performing missions composed of loosely coupled subtasks that may have ordering dependencies. ALLIANCE allows teams of robots, each of which possesses a variety of hi ..."

Ontology Learning for the Semantic Web
- IEEE Intelligent Systems
, 2001
"... The Semantic Web relies heavily on the formal ontologies that structure underlying data for the purpose of comprehensive and transportable machine understanding. Therefore, the success of the Semantic Web depends strongly on the proliferation of ontologies, which requires fast and easy engineering o ..."

-structured and fully structured data in order to support a semi-automatic, cooperative ontology engineering process. Our ontology learning framework proceeds through ontology import, extraction, pruning, refinement, and evaluation giving the ontology engineer a wealth of coordinated tools for ontology modeling
Seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education
, 1987
"... Apathetic students, illiterate graduates, incompetent teaching, impersonal campuses-- so rolls the drumfire of criticism of higher education. More than two years of reports have spelled out the problems. States have been quick to respond by holding out carrots and beating with sticks. There are neit ..."

Features of similarity.
- Psychological Review
, 1977
"... Similarity plays a fundamental role in theories of knowledge and behavior. It serves as an organizing principle by which individuals classify objects, form concepts, and make generalizations. Indeed, the concept of similarity is ubiquitous in psychological theory. It underlies the accounts of stimu ..."

The dynamics of reinforcement learning in cooperative multiagent systems
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AAAI-98
, 1998
"... Reinforcement learning can provide a robust and natural means for agents to learn how to coordinate their action choices in multiagent systems. We examine some of the factors that can influence the dynamics of the learning process in such a setting. We first distinguish reinforcement learners that a ..."

that are unaware of (or ignore) the presence of other agents from those that explicitly attempt to learn the value of joint actions and the strategies of their counterparts. We study (a simple form of) Q-learning in cooperative multiagent systems under these two perspectives, focusing on the influence of that game
Cooperative mobile robotics: Antecedents and directions
, 1995
"... There has been increased research interest in systems composed of multiple autonomous mobile robots exhibiting collective behavior. Groups of mobile robots are constructed, with an aim to studying such issues as group architecture, resource conflict, origin of cooperation, learning, and geometric pr ..."

Classroom 2000: An Experiment with the Instrumentation of a Living Educational Environment
- IBM Systems Journal
, 2000
