It is very desirable to be able to guarantee the error rate of a solution in a multiagent system's society. In this paper, a novel approach for this problem has been introduced b...

An inverse eigenvalue problem concerns the reconstruction of a structured matrix from prescribed spectral data. Such an inverse problem arises in many applications where parameters of a certain physical system are to be determined from the knowledge or expectation of its dynamical behavior. Spectral information is entailed because the dynamical behavior often is governed by the underlying natur...

What ethical considerations are made in decisions on distribution of scarce health care resources? Are the distributional decisions consciously based on explicit ethical principles, and if so, what principles? Both theoretical and political arguments on distribution of scarce medical resources frequently make simultaneous considerations of costs, probability of positive effects of medical treat...

In most recent work, Crysmann and Bonami () suggest to reconcile the insights of inferential-realisational morphology (Anderson, ; Stump, ; Brown and Hippisley, ) with the full typology of variable morphotactics: situations where the expression of analogous feature sets can appear in various positions in the string. e authors proposed to account for these facts by importing, in...

The article proposes a research program to compare game forms in terms of their ability to govern ex post adjustments to ex ante contracts. The comparisons can be based on direct implementation-costs or the extent to which desirable adjustments are not implemented. In several examples of the program, we compare three game forms: negotiation over each adjustment, ex ante price lists, and implici...

In multiagent systems a common problem is how to assign tasks to other agents. It is very desirable to be able to guarantee the error rate of a solution in a multiagent system’s society. In this paper, a novel approach for this problem has been introduced by devising social control mechanisms and simulating their mathematical model. It is also shown that the multiagent system is able to achieve...

Christian Sandvig University of Michigan Room 5385 North Quad 105 South State Street Ann Arbor, MI 48109 [email protected] Abstract We address the ACM Code of Ethics and discuss the stipulation that researchers follow terms of service. While the reasons for following terms of service are clear, we argue that there are hidden costs. Using the example of research into algorithm awareness and alg...

Using a two-port active RC network containing oneideal differential input and output operational amplifier, realizationprocedures are developed for simultaneous realization of any pairof the four short-circuit admittance parameters. The only stipulationon the parameters is that they must be real rational functions in thecomplex frequency variable. Experimental verification o...

Following the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009, electronic health records were widely adopted by eligible physicians and hospitals in the United States. Stage 2 meaningful use menu objectives include a digital family history but no stipulation as to how that information should be used. A variety of data mining techniques now exis...

Observations of quantum systems carried out by finite observers who subsequently communicate their results using classical data structures can be described as “local operations, classical communication” (LOCC) observations. The implementation of LOCC observations by the Hamiltonian dynamics prescribed by minimal quantum mechanics is investigated. It is shown that LOCC observations cannot be des...
