− This paper presents the efficient use of modern tools to motivate and lead a project team with members located at different geographical regions. In this inhomogeneous setting, differences in timeframe, culture, geography, and the lack of team bonding make the project management task daunting and traditional management techniques ineffective.

This paper proposes a mechanism for learning a best-response strategy to improve opponent intelligence in team-oriented commercial computer games. The mechanism, called TEAM2, is an extension of the TEAM mechanism for team-oriented adaptive behaviour explored in [Bakkes et al., 2004] and focusses on the exploitation of relevant gameplay experience. We compare the performance of the TEAM2 mechan...

the selection of best information system (is) project from many competing proposals is a critical business activity which is very helpful to all organizations. while previous is project selection methods are useful but have restricted application because they handle only cases with precise data. indeed, these methods are based on precise data with less emphasis on imprecise data. this paper pro...

The primary goal of this project is to develop acoustic roodcling techniques that advance the state-of-the-art in speech recognition, focusing on those techniques that relax the hidden Markov model's improper independence assumptions. Such techniques should both improve robustness to systematic variations such as microphone, channel, and speaker, by conditioning state's acoustic output distribu...

Team selection, the process of selecting a group of agents with complementary skills to achieve a goal, is an important collaborative task in multi-agent systems. Typically, team selection occurs at run-time using a first principles approa~, for example after agents have exchanged relevant information about their abilities, loads, or other status. In time-critical domains such approaches may be...

Lacking a formal yet practical decision model, nowadays decision makers mostly follow corporate guidelines or their intuition when it comes to the decision between agile and plan-driven project management in Business Intelligence projects. As one size does not fit all, using management methods hyped by temporary fashion or other management methods not adapted to the situation bears the risk of ...

  Selection of appropriate infrastructure transportation projects such as highways, plays an important role in promotion of transportation systems. Usually in evaluation of transportation projects, because of lack of information or due to long time and high expenditures needed for gathering information, different effective factors are ignored. Thus, in this research, regarding multi criteria na...
