Book Description
What do you do when you receive an invitation from an alien? Simple, ignore it until they won't let you ignore it anymore. Braden and his brother Cade were trying to lead a normal life in their hill country home in Texas. They had helped their grandpa out on his ranch further north from them with three alien encounters-first when the aliens arrived at Christmas holidays (The Invader), once in the following spring (The Insider), and once last summer (The Intruder).

Network Protocol Design with Machiavellian Robustness
Author: Brett Keith Watson
Publisher: The Famous Brett Watson
ISBN:
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This thesis is on the subject of network protocol design. It takes a collection of known, practical problems that we face on the Internet—namely, abuses of the network—and considers these problems in light of both existing practical countermeasures and abstract analysis. Protocol design features and techniques with Machiavellian robustness are then proposed to address these problems, to the extent that such a remedy is possible. A protocol called ‘Invite’ is then designed from scratch using these new techniques. The Invite protocol thus serves as a practical example of design for Machiavellian robustness, but its duty as a protocol is to convey that robustness to some other protocol, so it is then applied to email (and its well-known abuses such as spamming and mailbombing). In that context, its effectiveness is analysed and compared with other approaches, both proposed and currently practised. Lastly, the broader implications of Machiavellian robustness are considered, suggesting possible avenues of future research.

Intelligent Agents VIII
Author: John-Jules C. Meyer
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540454489
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
This volume is the eighth in the Intelligent Agents series associated with the ATAL workshops. These workshops on “Agent Theories, Architectures, and L- guages” have established themselves as a tradition, and play the role of small but internationally well-known conferences on the subject, where besides theory per se also integration of theory and practice is in focus. Speci?cally, ATAL - dresses issues of theories of agency, software architectures for intelligent agents, methodologies and programming languages for realizing agents, and software tools for applying and evaluating agent-based systems. ATAL 2001 featured two special tracks in which both the more theoretical / formal and the more practical aspects were present, viz. “Formal Theories of Negotiation”, organized by Frank Dignum, and “Agents for Hand-Held, Mobile, or Embedded Devices”, organized by Tim Finin. There was also an extra session on RoboCup Rescue, organized and presented by Satoshi Tadokoro and Ranjit Nair. ATAL 2001 attracted 68 papers from over 20 countries all over the world, of which 30 were selected for presentation at the workshop and publication in this volume. We invited two outstanding speakers: Fausto Giunchiglia (Trento, Italy) and Tom Dean (Brown, USA).
