TLDR
The Information and Application Distribution System (IADS) as discussed by the authors is an example of a system that allows the user's local computer to automatically set up a user interface to connect with a central controller which facilitates interaction and introduction between and among users.Abstract:
An Information and Application Distribution System (IADS) is disclosed. The IADS operates, in one embodiment, to distribute, initiate and allow interaction and communication within like-minded communities. Application distribution occurs through the transmission and receipt of an “invitation application” which contains both a message component and an executable component to enable multiple users to connect within a specific community. The application object includes functionality which allows the user's local computer to automatically set up a user interface to connect with a central controller which facilitates interaction and introduction between and among users.read more

Multifactorial optimization system and method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for providing unequal allocation of rights among agents while operating according to fair principles, comprising assigning a hierarchal rank to each agent, providing a synthetic economic value to a first set of agents at the a high level of the hierarchy, allocating portions of the synthetic economy value by the first sets of agents to a second subset of agents, at respectively different hierarchal ranks than the first set, and conducting an auction amongst agents using the synthetic economic values as the currency.
