BiddingBot: a multiagent support system for cooperative bidding in multiple auctions

Abstract: Online auctions are becoming an increasingly important channel for electronic commerce. There exist more than 150 online auction sites on the Internet. It is difficult for users to attend, monitor, and bid at multiple auction sites simultaneously. The authors propose BiddingBot which is a multi agent system that supports users in attending, monitoring, and bidding in multiple auctions. BiddingBot monitors prices of goods in several online auction sites to get reasonable market prices of goods, and uses a new cooperative bidding mechanism to effectively bid in auctions.

Observation of Superconductivity in Heavy-Fermion Compounds of Ce2CoIn8

Abstract: We succeeded in growing a single crystal of Ce(2)Coln(8) by the flux method. The results of specific heat and electrical resistivity measurements indicate that Ce(2)Coln(8) is a heavy-fermion superconductor below 0.4 K with an electronic specific heat coefficient gamma as large as 500 mJ/K(2)mol-Ce.

Accelerated Ants Routing in Dynamic Networks

Abstract: Efficiently routing in a dynamic network is a important problem in ad hoc network according to development of personal data assistant (PDA) and wireless network equipment. However conventional routing algorithm is difficult to apply to dynamic topology network. Q-Routing, DRQ-Routing and Ants-Routing which are based on reinforcement learning technique are proposed. But convergence speed and routing result are still unsatisfied. In this paper, accelerated AntsRouting which increase convergence speed and obtain good routing path is discussed. Experiment on dynamic network showed that accelerated Ants-Routing learns the optimum routing in terms of convergence speed and average packet latency.
