Cooperative Game Theory Within Multi-Agent Systems For Systems Scheduling, Derek Messie, Jae C. Oh

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - All Scholarship

Research concerning organization and coordination within multi-agent systems continues to draw from a variety of architectures and methodologies. The work presented in this paper combines techniques from game theory and multi-agent systems to produce self-organizing, polymorphic, lightweight, embedded agents for systems scheduling within a large-scale real-time systems environment. Results show how this approach is used to experimentally produce optimum real-time scheduling through the emergent behavior of thousands of agents. These results are obtained using a SWARM simulation of systems scheduling within a High Energy Physics experiment consisting of 2500 digital signal processors.

Human-Robot Interaction, Erika Rogers

Computer Science and Software Engineering

The relationship between robots and humans is so different in character from other human-machine relationships that it warrants its own field of study. Robots differ from simple machines and even from complex computers in that they are often designed to be mobile and autonomous. They are not as predictable as other machines; they can enter a human’s personal space, forcing a kind of social interaction that does not happen in other human-machine relationships.

The MVC Model 2 design pattern is an architecture that introduces a controller servlet to provide a single point of entry to the web system and to encourage more reuse and extensibility in web applications. Struts is an open sourced framework based on the MVC architectural pattern. It was created by Craig R. McClanahan, who donated it to the …

Optimal Play Of The Dice Game Pig, Todd W. Neller, Clifton G.M. Presser

Computer Science Faculty Publications

The object of the jeopardy dice game Pig is to be the first player to reach 100 points. Each player's turn consists of repeatedly rolling a die. After each roll, the player is faced with two choices: roll again, or hold (decline to roll again).

• If the player rolls a 1, the player scores nothing and it becomes the opponent's turn.
• If the player rolls a number other than 1, the number is added to the player's turn total and the player's turn continues.
• If the player holds, the turn total, the sum of the rolls during the turn, …

Ice Dynamics Preceding Catastrophic Disintegration Of The Floating Part Of Jakobshavn Isbræ, Greenland, Jesse V. Johnson, Paul R. Prescott, Terence J. Hughes

Computer Science Faculty Publications

The floating terminal of Jakobshavn Isbræ, the fastest Greenland ice stream, has disintegrated since 2002, resulting in a doubling of ice velocity and rapidly lowering inland ice elevations. Conditions prior to disintegration were modeled using control theory in a plane-stress solution, and the Missoula model of ice-shelf flow. Both approaches pointed to a mechanism that inhibits ice flow and that is not captured by either approach. Jamming of flow, an inherent property of granular materials passing through a constriction (Jakobshavn Isfjord), is postulated as the mechanism. Rapid disintegration of heavily crevassed floating ice accompanies break-up of the ice jam.

Detailed Spatially Distributed Geothermal Heat-Flow Data For Modeling Of Basal Temperatures And Meltwater Production Beneath The Fennoscandian Ice Sheet, Jens-Ove Näslund, Peter Jansson, James L. Fastook, Jesse Johnson, Leif Andersson

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Accurate modeling of ice sheets requires proper information on boundary conditions, including the geothermal heat flow (or heat-flow density (HFD)). Traditionally, one uniform HFD value is adopted for the entire modeled domain. We have calculated a distributed, high-resolution HFD dataset for an approximate core area (Sweden and Finland) of the Scandinavian ice sheet, and imbedded this within lower-resolution data published for surrounding regions. Within the Last Glacial Maximum ice margin, HFD varies with a factor of as much as 2.8 (HFD values ranging between 30 and 83mWm–2), with an average of 49mWm–2. This average value is 17% higher than 42mWm–2, …
