I think that idea is actually a field. Specifically spacial-temporal clustering. There are a lot of highly cited papers in this field. Also, it seems like it sort of tapered off in the mid-2000s. I don’t see any mention of it being applied to a multiagent system other than for cars.

Ponderings on an old topic
See people in general are getting in each others way when in a crowded environment. When there is a group of people that are working together in this crowd, their removal would cause the system to The idea is to try and find the least noisy, as the less noisy the I’m back to wanting… Continue reading Ponderings on an old topic
Fun problem
David had an idea for a problem: Given N individuals, each individual must, say, play a game with M other individuals. The length of the game is stochastic and dependent on who is playing the game. Describe an algorithm that will optimally group the individuals such that each individual has to wait the minimum amount… Continue reading Fun problem
HyperNEAT and facial recognition
So, I know that facial recognition is pretty decent, but I think that HyperNEAT would be pretty good at doing this. I think that it would be able to take advantage of the geometry of the face in order to better characterize the face. I have found a paper that used HyperNEAT on digits, and… Continue reading HyperNEAT and facial recognition
AAAI and AAMAS proceedings
http://www.aaai.org/Library/AAAI/aaai-library.php took me forever to find this and this http://www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/AAAI/AAAI14/search. Very valuable. Then we have AAMAS proceedings: http://dl.acm.org/event.cfm?id=RE146&tab=pubs&CFID=454223637&CFTOKEN=11498247.
Adaptive Auctions
I found my idea that I had for the adaptive auctions. This isn’t the full general case of negotiation, but it is a start. http://www.sigecom.org/exchanges/volume_5/5.3-Pardoe.pdf And its by Peter Stone :).
Braille with ultrasound
So, 2 ideas 1. use that ultrasound based display to act as a braille display, so blind people could use it as a way to read and interact with the device. Then the other idea is to have a smartphone app that converts pictures of braille into english alphabet words… I think computer vision would… Continue reading Braille with ultrasound
Satellites and houses
This is cool. He discusses the concept of contracting and subcontracting for building houses and puts it into the perspective of sattelites and task allocation. http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/339034/1.hasCoversheetVersion/jvdhorst_thesis.pdf
Ascending auctions and Bounties
So, what if we think of bounties as an ascending auction? The idea is that we have a bunch of tasks that we are auctioning off. Multiple agents can bid on a task (going after the task) at the same time. They win the auction by successfully completing the task. Like in bounties the price… Continue reading Ascending auctions and Bounties
Roots of Branching Processes
In branching processes you can find the probability of the system going extinct by finding the roots of the polynomial where the coefficients are the probabilities and the exponents are the number generated. The smallest root between 0 and 1 will be the answer. What do the other roots mean? Basically the root corresponds to… Continue reading Roots of Branching Processes
