We study incomplete information games of perfect recall involving players who perceive ambiguity and may be ambiguity averse. Our focus is on equilibrium concepts satisfying sequential optimality —each player’s strategy must be optimal at each stage given the strategies of the other players and the player’s conditional beliefs. We show that, for the purpose of identifying strategy profiles that...

Parallel narrowing has been proposed by Antoy, Echahed and Hanus. They generalize to narrowing the notion of necessary set of redexes introduced by Sekar and Ramakrishnan. We present a high-level implementation by transforming weakly orthogonal, constructor-based programs into Prolog with the help of parallel deenitional trees. For strategies based on parallel rewriting, this is particularly di...

Abstract— The production of the electric vehicles is always braked by their weak autonomies and their elevated costs. In this context, this paper describes a strategy of optimization of the consumption. This strategy is based on a comparative study of the sinusoïdal and trapezoïdal of a permanent magnets motor conceived by a systemic approach and integrating a system of energy recuperation in o...

A novel design of two-wheeled robotic vehicle with moving payload is presented in this paper. A mathematical model describing the vehicle dynamics is derived and simulated in Matlab Simulink environment. Two control strategies were developed to stabilise the vehicle in the upright position. A robust Proportional Integral-Derivative (PID) control strategy has been implemented and initially teste...

The paper explores the institutional determinants of differences in European, Japanese and American unemployment and innovation pattern in a „comparative institutional analysis“ perspective. Building on the definition of different modes of coordination among firms, the question is addressed as to how institutional settings affect firms’ innovation strategy. A generalized efficiency wage model i...

Because players whose preferences violate the von Neumann-Morgenstern independence axiom may be unwilling to randomize as mixed-strategy Nash equilibrium would require, a Nash equilibrium may not exist without independence. This paper generalizes Nash’s definition of equilibrium, retaining its rationalexpectations spirit but relaxing its requirement that a player must bear as much uncertainty a...

The IT consulting process can be usefully examined through a knowledge management lens from multiple perspectives and levels. Knowledge transfer is crucial for successful consultant engagement and depends upon the conditions of client understanding and client involvement which need to be considered by both provider and purchaser of the service. The example of Enterprise Systems services shows t...

This paper presents and analysis the common existing sequential pattern mining algorithms. It presents a classifying study of sequential pattern-mining algorithms into five extensive classes. First, on the basis of Apriori-based algorithm, second on Breadth First Search-based strategy, third on Depth First Search strategy, fourth on sequential closed-pattern algorithm and five on the basis of i...

In this paper we present a comparative evaluation of various negotiation strategies within an online version of the game “Settlers of Catan”. The comparison is based on human subjects playing games against artificial game-playing agents (‘bots’) which implement different negotiation dialogue strategies, using a chat dialogue interface to negotiate trades. Our results suggest that a negotiation ...

A key strategy for driving improvements in health care quality is providing comparative quality information to consumers. This strategy will not work, and could even be counterproductive, unless (1) consumers are convinced that quality problems are real and consequential and that quality can be improved; (2) purchasers and policymakers make sure that quality reporting is standardized and univer...
