In the paper, we present the architecture of Minuteman project called “Internet in the sky”. The basic goal of Minuteman project is to provide an efficient communication platform for autonomous agents systems funded by ONR. We address the main challenges of Internet in the sky architecture and introduce the key solutions. In particular, our solutions focus on team communications: intra/inter te...

We present an approach for coordinating a team of soccer playing robots, used by Clockwork Orange in the RoboCup middle-size league. It is based on the idea of dynamically distributing roles among the team members and adds the notion of a global team strategy (attack, defend and intercept). Utility functions are used for estimating how well suited a robot is for a certain role. They are not onl...

A solution often touted to the problem of failed IS projects has been diversifying the composition of the team. This diversity of team composition can be either personality type, role or both. Personality type, in this paper, is tested with the Myers-Briggs personalit...

Large heterogeneous teams will often be in situations where sensor data that is uncertain and conflicting is shared across a peer-to-peer network. Not every team member will have direct access to sensors and team members will be influenced mostly by teammates with whom they communicate directly. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics and emergent behaviors of a large team sharing beliefs to...

background rapid response teams (rrts) assess patients during early phases of deterioration to reduce patient morbidity and mortality. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the ability of earlier medical intervention by a rrt prompted by clinical instability in patients to reduce the incidence of and mortality from unexpected cardiac arrest at our hospital. patients and methods a nonrandomize...

this study attempts to find if better performance in power play leads a team to victory in a twenty20 match. based on the methodology devised to do so, the study tries to measure the performance of both the teams during power play overs in terms of batting and bowling. the developed measure is called ‘prod’ which is a product of the difference of batting and bowling performance of the teams dur...
