Constrained coalition formation [PDF]
, 2011 The conventional model of coalition formation considers every possible subset of agents as a potential coalition. However, in many real-world applications, there are inherent constraints on feasible coalitions: for instance, certain agents may be ...

Quantified evaluation of the significance of higher order effective moments and dielectrophoretic forces [PDF]
, 2012 In analysis of electric field interactions with dielectrics, higher order moments and dielectrophoretic force terms are commonly ignored in what has become known as the dipole approximation.

Capturing interactive data transformation operations using provenance workflows [PDF]
, 2012 The ready availability of data is leading to the increased opportunity of their re-use for new applications and for analyses. Most of these data are not necessarily in the format users want, are usually heterogeneous, and highly dynamic, and this ...

Wasps, termites and waspmites: Distinguishing competence from performance in collective construction [PDF]
, 2012 We introduce a distinction between algorithm performance and algorithm competence and argue that bio-inpsired computing should characterise the former rather than the latter.

Building applications able to cope with problematic data using a datawarp approach [PDF]
, 2005 As the amount of data systems have to work with increases, it becomes practically impossible to ensure it is consistent, no matter how tough we make our data collection procedures. Currently systems logic is based on the implicit assumption that the data

Performance of two-hop communication links employing various relay processing schemes [PDF]
The error performance of a two-hop communication link (THCL) supported by a cluster of relay nodes (RNs) is investigated. The THCL includes one source node (SN) and one destination node (DN). The SN sends information to the DN via a cluster of RNs.

UML-B and Event-B: an integration of languages and tools [PDF]
, 2008 UML-B is a graphical front end for Event-B. It adds support for class-oriented modelling but retains the Event-B concept of a closed system characterized by families of spontaneous events.
