The secretary returns
In the online random-arrival model, an algorithm receives a sequence of n requests that arrive in a random order. The algorithm is expected to make an irrevocable decision with regard to each request based only on the observed history. We consider the following natural extension of this model: each request arrives k times, and the arrival order is a random permutation of the kn arrivals; the al...

Optimal stopping theory, especially the classic secretary problem, is a powerful tool for analyzing such online scenarios which generally r...

A software agent is a program that effectively uses the network and remote processing sites to conduct differnt tasks on behalf of its originator. If required, the agent can communicate with the environments and/or other agents. This also includes replication of agents and possibly also propagation of processes. An important problem with an agent-based solution is security. Security might be di...
