International Economic Review, 1997 Summary: This paper describes situations where commitment via delegation is beneficial, even when the delegation is unobservable and the players have the option to play the game themselves. The potential for such benefits depends on the type of delegation, incentive versus instructive, the possibility of repetition, and the probability of observability.

The three basic elements of delegation (responsibility, authority and accountability) are discussed with regard to effective management. Major guidelines for effective delegation are noted, including: (1) securing a mutual commitment to responsibilities involved; (2) establishing goals and checkpoints; (3) giving appropriate authority to the delegate ...

From task delegation to role delegation
1997Roles may be analyzed in many ways: “abstract agents”; as power positions; as sets of obligations; etc. For sure one of the main facets of roles is their Delegation-Adoption nature. This is exactly the perspective we assume here: it is a partial view of roles, but a fundamental one.

Proceedings Third International Workshop on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks, 2003
Obligation policies are one main means of exercising control within an organisation. They specify the actions that some subject has to perform. The authority over these actions needs to be specified in authorisation policies. Current policy notations provide us with the needed structure to represent authorisations and obligations as policy objects for ...

Today's IT systems typically comprise a fine-grained access control mechanism based on complex policies. The strict enforcement of these policies, at runtime, always contains the risk of hindering people in their regular work. An efficient support for assisted delegation can help in resolving the conflict between too tight access control and the ...

Delegation and Communication [PDF]
, 2015 This paper analyzes delegation and joint decision making in an environment with private information and partially aligned preferences. We compare the benefits of these two decision making procedures as well as the interaction between them. We give a condition under which delegation is preferred to ex post joint decision making and we show how the ...

Proceedings of the 9th ACM international symposium on Mobile ad hoc networking and computing, 2008
Mobile opportunistic networks are characterized by unpredictable mobility, heterogeneity of contact rates and lack of global information. Successful delivery of messages at low costs and delays in such networks is thus challenging. Most forwarding algorithms avoid the cost associated with flooding the network by forwarding only to nodes that are likely

An agent may decide to delegate tasks to others. The act of delegating a task by one autonomous agent to another can be carried out by the performance of one or more imperative communication acts. In this paper, the semantics of imperatives are specified using a language of actions and states.

Proceedings of the conference on TRI-Ada '94 - TRI-Ada '94, 1994
Delegation is a technique used in object-oriented programming. For instance, it has been used to implement (interface) inheritance in prototype languages. Another view is that it competes with the inheritance as a language feature. Yet another view is that it provides a conceptual tool for the dynamic specialization.
