Optimal aggregation algorithms for middleware

An elegant and remarkably simple algorithm is analyzed that is optimal in a much stronger sense than FA, and is essentially optimal, not just for some monotone aggregation functions, but for all of them, and not just in a high-probability sense, but over every database.

This article examines how the Clarke tax could be used as an effective consensus mechanism in domains consisting of automated agents, and considers how agents can come to a consensus without needing to reveal full information about their preferences, and without need to generate alternatives prior to the voting process.

This article proposes the use of data mining techniques as a way of supplementing meagre ratings-based profile knowledge with additional item-similarity knowledge that can be automatically discovered by mining user profiles and argues that this new similarity knowledge can significantly enhance the performance of a recommender system in even the sparsest of profile spaces.
