This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th International Conference on Principles and Practice in Multi-Agent Systems, PRIMA 2011, held in Wollongong, Australia, in November 2011. The 39 papers presented together with 3 invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They focus on practical aspects of multiagent systems and are organised in topical sections on coalitions and teamwork, learning, mechanisms and voting, modeling and simulation, negotiation and coalitions, optimization, sustainability, agent societies and frameworks, argumentation, and applications.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is attracting enormous media attention, spurred by the popularity of file sharing systems such as Napster, Gnutella, and Morpheus. The peers are autonomous, or as some call them, first-class citizens. P2P networks are emerging as a new distributed computing paradigm for their potential to harness the computing power of the hosts composing the network and make their under-utilized resources available to others. Although researchers working on distributed computing, multiagent systems, databases and networks have been using similar concepts for a long time, it is only recently that papers motivated by the current P2P paradigm have started appearing in high-quality ...
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) provides cloud-like subscription-oriented services at the edge of mobile network. For low latency and high bandwidth services, edge computing assisted IoT (Internet of Things) has become the pillar for the development of smart environments and their applications such as smart home, smart health, smart traffic management, smart agriculture, and smart city. This book covers the fundamental concept of the MEC and its real-time applications. The book content is organized into three parts: Part A covers the architecture and working model of MEC, Part B focuses on the systems, platforms, services and issues of MEC, and Part C emphases on various applications of MEC. This book is targeted for graduate students, researchers, developers, and service providers interested in learning about the state-of-the-art in MEC technologies, innovative applications, and future research directions.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the 10th Pacific Rim International Workshop on Multi-Agents, PRIMA 2007, held in Bankok, Thailand, in November 2007. The 22 revised full papers and 16 revised short papers presented together with 11 application papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. Ranging from theoretical and methodological issues to various applications in different fields, the papers address many current subjects in multi-agent research and development,
Ubiquitous computing names the third wave in computing, where the personal computing era appears when technologyrecedesinto the backgroundof our lives. The widespread use of new mobile technology implementing wireless communicationssuch as personal digital assistants (PDAs) and smart phones enables a new type of advanced applications. In the pastyears,themainfocusofresearchinmobileserviceshasaimedattheanytime-anywhere principle (ubiquitous computing). However, there is more to it. The increasing demand for distributed problem solving led to the development of multi-agent systems. The latter are formed from a collection of independent software entities whose collective skills can be applied i...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-workshop proceedings of the First Pacific Rim International Conference on Multiagents, PRIMA '98, held in Singapore in November 1998 during PRICAI '98. The 13 revised full papers presented have been carefully reviewed for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on multiagent systems design, coordination platforms, and network application platforms; they address various current issues ranging from theorectical foundations to advanced applications in several areas.
Since the first EcoDesign International Symposium held in 1999, this symposium has led the research and practices of environmentally conscious design of products, services, manufacturing systems, supply chain, consumption, as well as economics and society. EcoDesign 2011 - the 7th International Symposium on Environmentally Conscious Design and Inverse Manufacturing - was successfully held in the Japanese old capital city of Kyoto, on November 30th – December 2nd, 2011. The subtitle of EcoDesign 2011 is to “design for value innovation towards sustainable society.” During this event, presenters discussed the way to achieve both drastic environmental consciousness and value innovation in order to realise a sustainable society.
The six volume set LNCS 11361-11366 constitutes the proceedings of the 14th Asian Conference on Computer Vision, ACCV 2018, held in Perth, Australia, in December 2018. The total of 274 contributions was carefully reviewed and selected from 979 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers focus on motion and tracking, segmentation and grouping, image-based modeling, dep learning, object recognition object recognition, object detection and categorization, vision and language, video analysis and event recognition, face and gesture analysis, statistical methods and learning, performance evaluation, medical image analysis, document analysis, optimization methods, RGBD and depth camera processing, robotic vision, applications of computer vision.
