We present a novel logic-based framework to automate multi-issue bilateral negotiation in e-commerce settings. The approach
exploits logic as communication language among agents, and optimization techniques in order to find Pareto-efficient agreements.
We introduce , a propositional logic extended with concrete domains, which allows one to model relations among issues (both numerical and
non-numerical ones) via logical entailment, differently from well-known approaches that describe issues as uncorrelated. Through
it is possible to represent buyer’s request, seller’s supply and their respective preferences as formulas endowed with a
formal semantics, e.g., “if I spend more than 30000 € for a sedan then I want more than a two-years warranty and a GPS system included”. We mix logic and utility theory in order to express preferences in a qualitative and quantitative way. We illustrate the
theoretical framework, the logical language, the one-shot negotiation protocol we adopt, and show we are able to compute Pareto-efficient
outcomes, using a mediator to solve an optimization problem. We prove the computational adequacy of our method by studying
the complexity of the problem of finding Pareto-efficient solutions in our setting. 相似文献

Estimation of signal parameters in the frequency domain in the presence of harmonic interference: a comparative analysis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In this paper, a novel method for the estimation of the parameters of the spectral components of a signal, also in the case of harmonic interference, is characterized and compared to other methods proposed in literature. The comparison criteria include the evaluation of residual errors and uncertainties on estimated parameters for different multicomponent signals. 相似文献

In this paper we focus on the analysis of peer reviews and reviewers behaviour in a number of different review processes. More specifically, we report on the development, definition and rationale of a theoretical model for peer review processes to support the identification of appropriate metrics to assess the processes main characteristics in order to render peer review more transparent and understandable. Together with known metrics and techniques we introduce new ones to assess the overall quality (i.e. ,reliability, fairness, validity) and efficiency of peer review processes e.g. the robustness of the process, the degree of agreement/disagreement among reviewers, or positive/negative bias in the reviewers’ decision making process. We also check the ability of peer review to assess the impact of papers in subsequent years. We apply the proposed model and analysis framework to a large reviews data set from ten different conferences in computer science for a total of ca. 9,000 reviews on ca. 2,800 submitted contributions. We discuss the implications of the results and their potential use toward improving the analysed peer review processes. A number of interesting results were found, in particular: (1) a low correlation between peer review outcome and impact in time of the accepted contributions; (2) the influence of the assessment scale on the way how reviewers gave marks; (3) the effect and impact of rating bias, i.e. reviewers who constantly give lower/higher marks w.r.t. all other reviewers; (4) the effectiveness of statistical approaches to optimize some process parameters (e.g. ,number of papers per reviewer) to improve the process overall quality while maintaining the overall effort under control. Based on the lessons learned, we suggest ways to improve the overall quality of peer-review through procedures that can be easily implemented in current editorial management systems. 相似文献

The Protocol for Lightweight Authentication of Identity (PLAID) aims at secure and private authentication between a smart card and a terminal. Originally developed by a unit of the Australian Department of Human Services for physical and logical access control, PLAID has now been standardized as an Australian standard AS-5185-2010 and is currently in the fast-track standardization process for ISO/IEC 25185-1. We present a cryptographic evaluation of PLAID. As well as reporting a number of undesirable cryptographic features of the protocol, we show that the privacy properties of PLAID are significantly weaker than claimed: using a variety of techniques, we can fingerprint and then later identify cards. These techniques involve a novel application of standard statistical and data analysis techniques in cryptography. We discuss potential countermeasures to our attacks and comment on our experiences with the standardization process of PLAID. 相似文献

We consider second-order evolution equations in an abstract setting with damping and time delay and give sufficient conditions ensuring exponential stability. Our abstract framework is then applied to the wave equation, the elasticity system and the Petrovsky system. 相似文献

A successful design of peptidomimetics must come to terms with χ-space control. The incorporation of χ-space constrained amino acids into bioactive peptides renders the χ(1) and χ(2) torsional angles of pharmacophore amino acids critical for activity and selectivity as with other relevant structural features of the template. This review describes histidine analogues characterized by replacement of native α and/or β-hydrogen atoms with alkyl substituents as well as analogues with α, β-didehydro unsaturation or C(α)-C(β) cyclopropane insertion (ACC derivatives). Attention is also dedicated to the relevant field of β-aminoacid chemistry by describing the synthesis of β(2)- and β(3)-models (β-hHis). Structural modifications leading to cyclic imino derivatives such as spinacine, aza-histidine and analogues with shortening or elongation of the native side chain (nor-histidine and homo-histidine, respectively) are also described. Examples of the use of the described analogues to replace native histidine in bioactive peptides are also given. 相似文献

A numerical model of crack detection by magnetic flux leakage that takes into account the saturation of the induction flux density with the applied field is developed. The model contains no free parameters and is validated with detailed measurements of materials properties and magnetic fields reported by Förster. It is then used to discuss the dependence of signals on the tube wall thickness, crack depth and width, and the strength of the applied field. An estimate of the noise level is used to analyse the signal-to-noise ratio and calculate the optimal applied field for crack detection. Difficulties arising in internal crack detection of shallow cracks in thick-walled pipes are also discussed. 相似文献
