Overview: Recent research in Agents and multi-agent systems in distributed systems.Presents new applications of multi-agent systems to digital economy and e-commerce.Written by a leading expert in the fieldUncertainty theory is a branch of mathematics based on normality, monotonicity, self-duality, countable subadditivity, and product measure axioms. Uncertainty is any concept that satisfies the axioms of uncertainty theory. Thus uncertainty is neither randomness nor fuzziness. It is also known from some surveys that a lot of phenomena do behave like uncertainty. How do we model uncertainty? H

Overview: Das positive Erscheinungsbild der Kulturlandschaft und die Qualität anderer Umweltressourcen stellen zu einem wesentlichen Teil ein "kostenloses" Koppelprodukt landwirtschaftlicher Tätigkeit dar. Die gegebenen Rahmenbedingungen führen jedoch dazu, daß bisher kostenlos angefallene Koppelprodukte nicht mehr in dem gesellschaftlich gewünschten Umfang bzw. in der gewünschten Qualität zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Im vorliegenden wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit die Bereitstellung dieses Nebenprodukte eine Umweltleistung darstellt und unter welchen Umständen bzw. auf welche Weise L
