In this paper, reinforcement learning is used in order to model the reputation of buying and selling agents. Two important factors, quality and price, are considered in the proposed model. Each selling agent learns to ...

Appropriate sensors are a crucial necessity for the success of recognition systems. Nature has always coevolved sensors and recognition systems and this can also be done in artificially intelligent systems. To get a very ...

The proportional fairness criterion, which was first proposed by F.P. Kelly and his colleagues, has a number of properties in allocating user rates. For example, it resembles the AIMD in the TCP-Vegas~[1] in rate allocation ...

In this paper, a different approach for finding an approximate solution of the Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equations (NVIE) of the Second Kind is presented. In this approach, the nonlinearity of the kernel has no serious ...

In this paper, a design and construction method for an omnidirectional vision system is described, including how to use it on autonomous soccer robots for object detection, localization and, also, collision avoidance in ...

In this paper, a new approach for constructing quadratic Lyapunov Krasovskii functionals for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems is developed. The functionals are then used to derive delay-dependent stability conditions. ...

Pervasive computing, as a new branch in the field of distributed computing, has received wide contribution from different researchers. In this novel computing model, a vast range of computational and communication resources, ...

The architecture of a hardwired simulator for implementation of a iscrete event-driven simulation of digital systems at the logic level is resented. In the design of this system, attempts have been made to utilize echniques ...

In this paper, two methods are proposed for the detection of a band-limited signal in unknown variance white Gaussian noise. The complex amplitude and the frequency of the signal and the noise variance are assumed as unknown ...

In this paper, the operational approach to the Tau method is used for the numerical solution of a nonlinear Fredholm integro-differential equations system and nonlinear ODEs with initial or boundary conditions without ...
