Thyroid Function Tests in Subjects with a Genetic Isoelectric Focusing Variant TBG
A variant thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) with slower migration on isoelectric focusing (TBG-S) has been found in some American Blacks. It is inherited as an X-chromosome-linked trait. Hemizygous males with T...

The Search for Coalition Formation in Costly Environments
We study the dynamics of forming coalitions of self-interested autonomous buyer agents, for the purpose of obtaining a volume discount. In our model, agents, representing coalitions of various sizes, may choos...

Agent’s Multiple Inquiries for Enhancing the Partnership Formation Process
The concept of sequential two-sided search is widely used in partnerships formation applications in various domains. However, when considering the implementation of the method in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), one...

Auction Equilibrium Strategies for Task Allocation in Uncertain Environments
In this paper we address a model of self interested information agents competing to perform tasks. The agents are situated in an uncertain environment while different tasks dynamically arrive from a central ma...

Agents’ Strategies for the Dual Parallel Search in Partnership Formation Applications
In many two-sided search applications, autonomous agents can enjoy the advantage of parallel search, powered by their ability to handle an enormous amount of information, in a short time, and the capability to...

The Effect of Mediated Partnerships in Two-Sided Economic Search
In this paper we investigate the effect of mediated partnerships over agents’ equilibrium strategies in two-sided economic search. A mediated partnership is formed when an agent acts as a mediator, establishing a...

The Choice of Eliminating the Uncertainty Cloud in Auctions
This paper investigates auction settings where bidders private values depend on a common value element which encapsulates some inherent uncertainty concerning its value. In particular, we are interested in sce...

Search Costs as a Means for Improving Market Performance
In this paper we study the benefits of search costs in distributed multi-agent systems (MAS). These costs, often associated with obtaining, processing and evaluating information relating to other agents in the...

Efficient Error Setting for Subspace Miners
A typical mining problem is the extraction of patterns from subspaces of multidimensional data. Such patterns, known as a biclusters, comprise subsets of objects that behave similarly across subsets of attribu...

Elastic Ring Search for Ad Hoc Networks
In highly dynamic mobile ad hoc networks, new paths between nodes can become available in a short amount of time. We show how to leverage this property in order to efficiently search for paths between nodes us...

The Positive Effect of User Faults over Agent Perception in Collaborative Settings and Its Use in Agent Design
This paper studies the effect of user’s own task-related faults over her satisfaction with a fault-prone agent in a human-agent collaborative setting. Through a series of extensive experiments we find that use...
