This paper studies a model in which some consumers shop on the basis of price alone, without attention to potential differences in product quality. A firm may offer a low-quality product to exploit these inattentive consumers. In the unique symmetric equilibrium of the model, firms choose prices with mixed strategies , similarly to Varian (1980) in which some consumers purchase from a random se...

In this paper 1 , we continue to develop our approach to theorem proof search in the EA-style, that is theorem proving in the framework of integrated processing mathematical texts written in a 1st-order formal language close to the natural language used in mathematical papers. This framework enables constructing a sound and complete goal-oriented sequent-type calculus with \large-block" inferen...

Papers published on the resource-based theory (RBT) have made clear its widespread application, heterogeneity, and usefulness as a strategic approach. This paper empirically analyzes the assumptions underlying the theory from an inductive perspective. The paper differs from previous works by identifying the main trends within the theory and by noting their diffusion among the leading management...

This paper focuses on design issues to be faced when developing knowledge management (KM) applications based on the integration of peer-to-peer and multi-agent technologies. The reasons for using these technologies rest on the requirements posed by the specific KM paradigm that has been adopted, which emphasizes aspects such as autonomy and distribution of knowledge sources. We adopt an agent-o...

This papers describes an algorithm to estimate the precise position of facade planes in digital surface models (DSM) reconstructed from aerial images using an image-based optimization method which exploits the redundancy of the data set (along and across track overlap). This approach assumes that a facade is a vertical plane and that the heightfield is precise enough to generate hypotheses for ...

Free access to full-text scientific papers in major digital libraries and other web repositories is limited to only their abstracts consisting of no more than several dozens of words. Current keyword-based techniques allow for clustering such type of short texts only when the data set is multi-category, e.g., some documents are devoted to sport, others to medicine, others to politics, etc. Howe...

This paper focuses on a framework for developing knowledge management (KM) applications that integrates peer-to-peer (P2P) and multi-agent systems (MAS) technologies. The objective of this framework is to support a particular KM paradigm that emphasizes aspects such as autonomy and distributedness of knowledge sources. In particular, we present a characterization of peer-to-peer in terms of a g...

This article presents a survey of model-driven techniques for data model synthesis. During an extensive research, we identified more than 70 research papers in the field and more than 15 different graphical notations used for the source model representation. We have classified the proposed approaches into four distinct groups: function-oriented, process-oriented, communication-oriented and goal...
