Semi-Supervised Support Vector Machines(S3VMs) typically directly estimate the label assignments for the unlabeled instances. This is often inefficient even with recent advances in the efficient training of the (supervised) SVM. In this paper, we show that S3VMs, with knowledge of the means of the class labels of the unlabeled data, is closely related to the supervised SVM with known labels on all he unlabeled data. This motivates us to first estimate the label means of the unlabeled data. Two versions of the meanS3VM, which work by maximizing the margin between the label means, are proposed. The first one is based on multiple kernel learning, while the second one is based on alternating optimization. Experiments show that both of the proposed algorithms achieve highly competitive and sometimes even the best performance as compared to the state-of-the-art semi-supervised learners. Moreover, they are more efficient than existing *** 2009.

Commitment-modeled protocols enable flexible and robust interactions among agents. However, existing work has focused on features and capabilities of protocols without considering the active role of agents in them. Therefore, in this paper we propose to augment agents with the ability of reasoning about and manipulating their commitments to maximize the system utility. We adopt a bottom-up approach by first investigating the intra-dependency between each commitment's preconditions and result which leads to a novel classification of commitments as well as a formalism to express various types of complex commitment. Within this framework, we provide a set of inference rules to benefit an agent by means of commitment refactoring which enables composition and/or decomposition of its commitments to optimize runtime performance. We also discuss the pros and cons of an agent scheduling and executing its commitments in parallel. We propose a reasoning strategy and an algorithm to minimize possible loss when the commitment is broken and maximize the overall system robustness and performance. Experiments show that concurrent schedules based on the features of commitments can boost the system performance significantly.

Discrete Event System Specification (DEVS) has been widely used to describe hierarchical models of discrete systems. DEVS has also been used successfully to model with Real-Time constraints. In this paper, we introduce a methodology to verify Real-Time DEVS models, and describe the methodology by using a case study of a DEVS model of an elevator system. Our methodology applies recent advances in theoretical model checking to DEVS models. The methodology also handles the cases where theoretical approach is not feasible to cross the gap between abstract Timed Automata models and the complexity of the DEVS Real-time implementation by empirical softwareengineering methods. The case study is a system composed of an elevator along an elevator controller, and we show how the methodology can be applied to a real case like this one in order to improve the quality of such real-time applications.
