Multi-threading allows agents to pursue a heterogeneous collection of tasks in an orderly manner. The view of multi-threading that emerges from thread algebra is applied to the case where a single agent, who may be human, maintains a…
In this paper, we show how thread partitioning helps in proving properties of mobile systems. Thread partitioning consists in gathering the threads of a mobile system into several classes. The partitioning criterion is left as a parameter…
Salespeople frequently face the dynamic screening decision of whether to persist in a conversation or abandon it to pursue the next lead. Yet, little is known about how these decisions are made, whether they are efficient, or how to improve…
In important applications involving multi-task networks with multiple objectives, agents in the network need to decide between these multiple objectives and reach an agreement about which single objective to follow for the network. In this…
Intelligent physical systems as embodied cognitive systems must perform high-level reasoning while concurrently managing an underlying control architecture. The link between cognition and control must manage the problem of converting…
