On cooperation in open communities

Journal of Public Economics, 2013
Abstract Economic interactions often take place in open communities, where agents are free to leave in order to join a more preferred community. Tiebout (1956) conjectured that “voting with feet” might generate considerable efficiency gains, since individuals with different preferences sort themselves into those communities that suit them most.

Evolution of communication and cooperation

Proceedings of the 2014 Annual Conference on Genetic and Evolutionary Computation, 2014
In the wild, spotted hyenas have been observed to chase lions away from a recent kill. This is a high risk, high reward behavior that requires significant teamwork and decision making skills. Modeling this behavior and creating algorithms that can improve evolutionarily may lead to more adaptable artificial systems for robotics and other cooperative ...

Cooperative tag communications

2015 IEEE International Conference on RFID Technology and Applications (RFID-TA), 2015
In this paper we propose the use of multiple tags cooperatively backscattering the same message to improve reverse-link range of passive communications. Since no control of relative backscatter phase is available, backscattered amplitude is approximately Rayleigh-distributed in a line-of-sight environment. Selection of optimized subsets is projected to

Cooperation as a communication process

Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Design (IEEE Cat. No.01EX472), 2002
The actors of a company must collaborate in an efficient way to achieve the common purposes of the company (the Project). Therefore, they must have competencies, manage and produce knowledge, perform tasks, and communicate between them; all that in an environment permanently evolving.

Wireless cooperative communication

Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication, 2011
In the community of wireless networks, a new transmission technique has received great attention of late. This is (wireless) cooperative communication. It brings the power of multiple-antenna systems to bear upon the single-antenna multiple nodes. It is apt at the formation and exploitation of spatial diversity in a distributed manner.

Cooperating Search Communities

2006
Collaborative Web Search (CWS) seeks to exploit the high degree of natural query repetition and result selection regularity that is prevalent among communities of searchers. CWS reuses the search experiences of community members, to promote results that have previously been judged relevant for queries.

NETWORKS OF COMMUNITIES AND EVOLUTION OF COOPERATION

International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2008
In this paper, we propose a new very simple mechanism supporting the emergence of cooperation in a population of memoryless agents playing a prisoner's dilemma game. Each agent belongs to a community and interacts with the agents of its community and with the agents belonging to linked communities.

Cooperative Emergency Communications

2012 Sixth International Conference on Next Generation Mobile Applications, Services and Technologies, 2012
Emergency networks formed by First Responders are characterised by fairly dynamic topology fluctuations which makes them an area of interest for the incorporation of cooperative transmission and autonomic system design enhancements. It results mostly from the ad hoc nature of the networking environment of this type where the deployment of Relay Nodes ...

Multimodal Cooperative Communication

2001
When we interact with computers, we often want them to be endowed with similar characteristics as we find in human communication, and that we are familiar with. One of these characteristics is the ability to use a combination of various communication modalities.

Cooperative Strategies and the Evolution of Communication

Artificial Life, 2000
Using communication is not the only cooperative strategy that can evolve when organisms need to solve a problem together. This article describes a model that extends MacLennan and Burghardt's [37] synthetic ethology simulation to show that using a spatial world in a simulation allows a wider range of strategies to evolve in response to environmental ...
