Events Rensselaer at Hartford’s Computer Science Seminar Series Presents, "Participatory Global Query: A First Step Toward Market-Style Enterprise Resource Allocation" EVENT: Cheng Hsu, Ph.D., Professor, Decision Sciences and Engineering Systems, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, will present a seminar titled, "Participatory Global Query: A First Step Toward Market-Style Enterprise Resource Allocation." The presentation is part of Rensselaer at Hartford’s Computer Science Seminar Series. DATE: Friday, November 14, 2003 TIME: 6 p.m. LOCATION: Seminar Hall, Rensselaer at Hartford, 275 Windsor Street, Hartford. Click HERE for directions. ADMISSION: FREE! Open to the public. All are welcome to attend. TOPIC DISCUSSION: The problem of Database Query has always been considered from the user’s side only. That is, the databases are always treated merely as the object of search, rather than being a subject or willing participants of an information exchange. The proposed model employs a new agent-based, peer-to-peer publish and subscribe approach to self-allocating database resources in an information enterprise. This is a first and key step toward allocating other classes of information resources as well. New results include (1) an agent model using a Metadatabase and an Agent-Base to create and manage large number of custom agents, (2) a peer-to-peer negotiation method, and (3) an open common schema design. The presentation will also discuss an implementation scheme for developing the artificial market. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dr. Hsu (www.viu.eng.rpi.edu/team/hsuc.html) is a member of IEEE, ACM, TIMS, SME, and POM. He serves on the editorial board for several journals and organizations, including IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics. His publications include two books and over a hundred scholarly papers in a number of journals and proceedings. Dr. Hsu is currently engaging in research on peer-to-peer technology for person-centered e-business models, such as enterprise exchange and community exchange. His ongoing research includes natural language database query, large scale agent-base, agent etiquette, and real-time decision algorithms.
