Markov games as a framework for multi-agent reinforcement learning

by Michael L. Littman - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MACHINE LEARNING , 1994
"... In the Markov decision process (MDP) formalization of reinforcement learning, a single adaptive agent interacts with an environment defined by a probabilistic transition function. In this solipsistic view, secondary agents can only be part of the environment and are therefore fixed in their behavior ..."

in their behavior. The framework of Markov games allows us to widen this view to include multiple adaptive agents with interacting or competing goals. This paper considers a step in this direction in which exactly two agents with diametrically opposed goals share an environment. It describes a Q

A Reliable Multicast Framework for Light-weight Sessions and Application Level Framing

by Sally Floyd, Van Jacobson, Steven McCanne, Ching-gung Liu, Lixia Zhang , 1995
"... This paper... reliable multicast framework for application level framing and light-weight sessions. The algorithms of this framework are efficient, robust, and scale well to both very large networks and very large sessions. The framework has been prototype in wb, a distributed whiteboard application ..."

An Extensible Monitoring and Adaptation Framework ⋆

by Razvan Popescu, Athanasios Staikopoulos, Siobhán Clarke
"... Abstract. Several techniques have been defined for the monitoring and adaptation of applications. However, such techniques usually work in isolation and cannot be easily integrated to tackle complex monitoring and adaptation scenarios. Furthermore, applications may have special requirements which ma ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
, loosely-coupled and extensible monitoring and adaptation framework that allows application developers to integrate monitoring and adaptation techniques as units that can be linked to solve complex requirements and achieve cross-layer adaptation. In order to cater for application-tailored adaptation units

Cognitive networks

by Ryan W. Thomas, Luiz A. DaSilva, Allen B. MacKenzie - IN PROC. OF IEEE DYSPAN 2005 , 2005
"... This paper presents a definition and framework for a novel type of adaptive data network: the cognitive network. In a cognitive network, the collection of elements that make up the network observes network conditions and then, using prior knowledge gained from previous interactions with the network ..."

Receiver-driven Layered Multicast

by Steven McCanne, Van Jacobson, Martin Vetterli , 1996
"... State of the art, real-time, rate-adaptive, multimedia applications adjust their transmission rate to match the available network capacity. Unfortunately, this source-based rate-adaptation performs poorly in a heterogeneous multicast environment because there is no single target rate — the conflicti ..."

receiver specifies its level of subscription by joining a subset of the groups. In this paper, we extend the multiple group framework with a rate-adaptation protocol called Receiver-driven Layered Multicast, or RLM. Under RLM, multicast receivers adapt to both the static heterogeneity of link bandwidths

Working Knowledge

by Thomas Davenport, Laurence Prusak, Gary Wills, Harith Alani, Ronald Ashri, Richard Crowder, Yannis Kalfoglou, Sanghee Kim , 1998
"... While knowledge is viewed by many as an asset, it is often difficult to locate particular items within a large electronic corpus. This paper presents an agent based framework for the location of resources to resolve a specific query, and considers the associated design issue. Aspects of the work ..."

Image Quality Assessment: From Error Visibility to Structural Similarity

by Zhou Wang, Alan C. Bovik, Hamid R. Sheikh, Eero P. Simoncelli - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON IMAGE PROCESSING , 2004
"... Objective methods for assessing perceptual image quality have traditionally attempted to quantify the visibility of errors between a distorted image and a reference image using a variety of known properties of the human visual system. Under the assumption that human visual perception is highly adapt ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1499 (114 self) - Add to MetaCart
adapted for extracting structural information from a scene, we introduce an alternative framework for quality assessment based on the degradation of structural information. As a specific example of this concept, we develop a Structural Similarity Index and demonstrate its promise through a set

The algorithmic analysis of hybrid systems

by R. Alur, C. Courcoubetis, N. Halbwachs , T. A. Henzinger, P.-H. Ho, X. Nicollin , A. Olivero , J. Sifakis , S. Yovine - THEORETICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE , 1995
"... We present a general framework for the formal specification and algorithmic analysis of hybrid systems. A hybrid system consists of a discrete program with an analog environment. We model hybrid systems as nite automata equipped with variables that evolve continuously with time according to dynamica ..."
