Multi-Agent Meeting Scheduling: Preliminary Experimental Results
, 1996
"... We view meeting scheduling as a distributed task where each agent knows its user's preferences and calendar availability in order to act on behalf of its user. Although we may have some intuitions about how some parameters could affect the meeting scheduling efficiency and meeting quality, we r ..."

run several experiments in order to explore the tradeoffs between different parameters. Our experiments show how the calendar and preference privacy affect the efficiency and the meeting joint quality under different experimental scenarios. The results show how the meeting scheduling performance
PARALLEL GUIDED LOCAL SEARCH AND SOME PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS FOR CONTINUOUS OPTIMIZATION
"... This paper proposes a Parallel Guided Local Search (PGLS) framework for continuous optimization. In PGLS, several guided local search (GLS) procedures (agents) are run for solving the optimization problem. The agents exchange information for speeding up the search. For example, the information excha ..."

exchanged could be knowledge about the landscape obtained by the agents. The proposed algorithm is applied to continuous optimization problems. The preliminary experimental results show that the algorithm is very promising.
Pattern Matching Image Compression With Predication Loop: Preliminary Experimental Results
- Proc. Data Compression Conference, Snowbird 1997; also Purdue University
, 1996
"... Recently, a novel image compression technique based on pattern matching was proposed, namely Pattern Matching Image Compression (PMIC). Basically, it is a lossy extension of the well known Lempel-Ziv scheme. It was proved that such an extension leads to a suboptimal compression, and that the compres ..."

More importantly, we implement Differential Predictive Code Modulation (DPCM) within PMIC scheme. We report here some preliminary experimental results which show that PMIC enhanced by prediction can

Tissue sensing adaptive radar for breast cancer detection: Preliminary experimental results
- in IEEE MTT-S Int. Microwave Symp. Dig
, 2005
"... Abstract—Microwave breast cancer detection is based on differ-ences in electrical properties between healthy and malignant tis-sues. Tissue sensing adaptive radar (TSAR) has been proposed as a method of microwave breast imaging for early tumor detection. TSAR senses all tissues in the volume of inte ..."

, 2003
"... Abstract.We show how it is possible to pair the NuSMV model checker with Akka, a software platform used to check validity of proposi-tional modal formulas, to verify properties of multi-agent systems formalised on interpreted systems semantics. We demonstrate thisby analysing three variants of the b ..."

Abstract.We show how it is possible to pair the NuSMV model checker with Akka, a software platform used to check validity of proposi-tional modal formulas, to verify properties of multi-agent systems formalised on interpreted systems semantics. We demonstrate thisby analysing three variants of the bit-transmission problem.
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF SILICIC TUFFS PREDICTIVE FORMALISM AND COMPARISON WITH PRELIMINARY EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
, 1980
"... Performance of both near- and fr-fild thermomechanical calculations to assess the feasibility of waste disposal in ilicic tuffs requires a formalism for predicting thermal conductivity of a broad range of tuffs. This report summarizes the available thermal conductivity data for silicate phases that ..."

Use of the lowered bounding curve and an effective gas conductivity of 0.12 W/m C allows conservative prediction of conductivity for a broad range of tuff types. For the samples
Comparison of Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms: Empirical Results
, 2000
"... In this paper, we provide a systematic comparison of various evolutionary approaches to multiobjective optimization using six carefully chosen test functions. Each test function involves a particular feature that is known to cause difficulty in the evolutionary optimization process, mainly in conver ..."

, the experimental results indicate a hierarchy of the algorithms under consideration. Furthermore, the emerging effects are evidence that the suggested test functions provide sufficient complexity to compare multiobjective optimizers. Finally, elitism is shown to be an important factor for improving evolutionary
Propensity Score Matching Methods For Non-Experimental Causal Studies
