I found this journal Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems and their list of publications and conference proceedings here. They look like a very neat conference. I took a look at their most recent proceedings and found to my delight that they have some cool applications that I’m interested in and make me think that some… Continue reading MAS applications

Extreme Sports, Baby Cribs and Pipes
In the future we will have new extreme sports. We are already sort of seeing it with that person that did a jump from close to outer space. We will start to have ziplines that you can ride from the moon to the earth. We will surf/swim on the lakes of lava on the sun! We… Continue reading Extreme Sports, Baby Cribs and Pipes

Exercise and eat healthy
Well I was working out every-other-day and really eating healthy for about two weeks. As a result I had a lot of energy and felt good, other than the muscle soreness. This past week I couldn’t go to the gym at all and I started eating pretty bad. By the end of the week (today)… Continue reading Exercise and eat healthy

Power grid for shipping containers

Harvesting the energy from the force of tons of pressure would be interesting. Also, they could be very safe batteries!! You could use Lightsail storage. Then it would be… Continue reading Power grid for shipping containers

Decision Theory Paradoxes
I’ve been researching decision theory paradoxes because in my Bounty’s task allocation system I am considering the benefits of giving the bondsman the decision to allocate particular tasks through an auction (ie exclusive) or through its normal bounty (non-exclusive) method. This brings with it a potentially multi-criteria decision which has me interested about the theoretical ramifications… Continue reading Decision Theory Paradoxes
