Rumours and Reputation: Evaluating Multi-Dimensional Trust within a Decentralised Reputation System

, 2007
In this paper we develop a novel probabilistic model of computational trust that explicitly deals with correlated multi-dimensional contracts. Our starting point is to consider an agent attempting to estimate the utility of a contract, and we show that ...

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Max-Sum Decentralised Coordination for Sensor Systems

, 2008
A key challenge for the successful deployment of systems consisting of multiple autonomous networked sensors is the development of decentralised mechanisms to coordinate the activities of these physically distributed devices in order to achieve good ...

Polyelectrolyte Multilayer: Caged PTFE Particles in Water for Continuous, Sonochemical H2O2 Synthesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A yolk–shell PTFE‐based composite (YSP) enables tunable, robust hydrophobic–water interfaces for efficient, on‐demand sonocatalytic H2O2 generation and pollutant degradation. ABSTRACT The use of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) particles to promote sonochemical H2O2 production has attracted growing interest, as cavitation bubbles formed at or near their ...

Mesoporous‐Shell Monolayer Plasmonic Architecture Enables Quantitative and Decision‐Guided SERS

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesoporous‐shell‐regulated molecular transport combined with monolayer hotspot determinism transforms surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) from ultrasensitive detection into quantitative and decision‐guided molecular sensing. ABSTRACT Quantitative surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has long been impeded by stochastic hotspot formation ...

From Materials to Systems: Challenges and Solutions for Fast‐Charge/Discharge Na‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically analyzes the key characteristics limiting the fast‐charge/discharge capability of Na‐ion batteries (SIBs) from a multi‐scale perspective encompassing electrode materials, the electrode‐electrolyte interface, and the system. Furthermore, it presents practical solution strategies for the fundamental issues arising at each scale,

Decentralised Approaches for Self-Adaptation in Agent Organisations

, 2012
Self-organising multi-agent systems provide a suitable paradigm for developing autonomic computing systems that manage themselves. Towards this goal, we demonstrate a robust, decentralised approach for structural adaptation in explicitly modelled problem

Sulfide‐Based Electrolytes for All‐Solid‐State Sodium Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
This review covers the structural features and synthesis strategies of sulfide‐based solid electrolytes, as well as critical challenges related to conductivity, interfacial and moisture stability, and scaling‐up for practical application in Sodium‐based All Solid‐State Batteries.

A framework for fully decentralised cycle stealing [PDF]

, 2007
Ordinary desktop computers continue to obtain ever more resources – in-creased processing power, memory, network speed and bandwidth – yet these resources spend much of their time underutilised.
