I argue in this paper that the process of compromising needs to be deliberative if a fair compromise is goal. More specifically, deliberation structurally necessary order achieve compromise. In developing argument, seeks overcome problematic dichotomy prevalent literature on democracy, which between and deliberation. This entails view preceding achievement essentially negotiating or bargaining,...

Among the many properties suggested for action-selection mechanisms, a prominent one is the ability to select compromise actions, i.e. actions that are not the best to satisfy any active goal in isolation, but rather compromise between multiple goals. This paper briefly reviews the history of compromise behaviour and presents experimental analyses of it in an attempt to determine how much compr...

We describe several joint problem solving strategies for a team of multi-interest constraint-based reasoning agents. Agents y/eld in one area of conflict in order to gain concessions in another area. For example, in a distributed meeting scheduling problem, individuals with different preferences may be willing to give up the choice of the location for the meeting if allowed to choose the time o...

Consider the modelY = μ+ σ · E, μ ∈ R, σ ∈ R+,where E follows a known distribution F. The parameter μ is called the location parameter. Pit-man (1939) introduced a method to determine an optimal equivariant estimator of μ, when thedistribution F is continuous, but otherwise of any form. This method uses a conditioning on anancillary statistic to minimize the mean square ...

Mendelian hypertension is rare; however, Mendelian syndromes have taught us an amazing amount about mechanisms of distal sodium and chloride reabsorption, as well as how systemic hypertension might come about. In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Schumacher et al (2015) present a mouse model of the Cullin-3 (CUL3D403–459) mutation, which causes a form of pseudohypoaldosteronism type-2 (PHA...

in traditional portfolio selection model coefficients often are certain and deterministic, but in real world these coefficients are probabilistic. so decision maker cannot estimate them exactly. financial optimization is one of the most attractive areas in decision under uncertainty. in the portfolio selection problem the decision maker considers simultaneously conflicting objectives such as ra...
