Based on the analysis of multi-paradigm software development and the concept of paradigm, a new method of multi-paradigm design with feature modeling is proposed in this thesis. The method enables an explicit reasoning about paradigms, viewed as solution domain concepts, and their appropriateness for given application domain concepts. Both application and solution domain are modeled using a con...

We address the problem of learning and implementation on the Internet When agents play repeated games in distributed environments like the Internet they have very limited a priori information about the other players and the payo matrix and the play can be highly asynchronous Consequently standard solution concepts like Nash equilibria or even the serially undominated set do not apply in such a ...

In this invited contribution [7], we summarize new solution concepts useful for the synthesis of reactive systems that we have introduced in several recent publications. These solution concepts are developed in the context of non-zero sum games played on graphs. They are part of the contributions obtained in the inVEST project funded by the European Research Council.

In this paper, we study the computational complexity of solution concepts in the context of coalitional games. Firstly, we distinguish two different kinds of core, the undominated core and excess core, and investigate the difference and relationship between them. Secondly, we thoroughly investigate the computational complexity of undominated core and three farsighted solution concepts—farsighte...

My Ph.D thesis focuses on the study of solution concepts for rational learning agents in extensive–form games in absence of common knowledge; specifically, on the definition of solution concepts, their search, analysis of static and dynamic property, characterization of learning dynamics. Summarily, my work is finalized to better understand how to integrate more thoroughly game theory and machi...

The effects of relevant concreteness on learning and transfer were investigated. Sixth grade students learned artificial instantiations of a simple mathematical concept. Some students were presented with instantiations that communicated concreteness relevant to the to-be-learned concept, while others learned generic instantiations involving abstract symbols. Results suggest that relevant concre...

This study demonstrates that an integrated operator can benefit from cost savings, customer retention and prevention of revenue erosion by FMC migration strategy with introduction of advanced service packages. This development is driven by increasing importance of mobile network capabilities and services, as well as the lessening gap between fixed and mobile systems, in terms of technological m...

We evoke some poetical aspects of a new kind of logical truth (an inner quantum truth) embodying both physical and mathematical concepts, which can be viewed at the same time as a constructive mathematical object, as well as a pure platonic idea.

And while I have sought to shew the naturalist how a few mathematical concepts and dynamical principles may help and guide him, I have tried to shew the mathematician a field for his labour—a field which few have entered and no man explored. Here may be found homely problems, such as often tax the highest skill of the mathematician, and reward his ingenuity all the more for their trivial associ...

A guide for those who wish to understand and to work with the hydro-geochemical equilibrium code CHESS together with introductory aspects of thermodynamic principles and surface com-plexation chemistry. The CHESS model was initially written at the Ecole des Mines de Paris within the framework of the R&D program on Management and Storage of Radioactive Waste
