If you are a faculty member or a researcher at a University, I would like to have a BRIEF response to the following question: Do you have an "incentive" or "reward" or "benefit" plan that returns to you some amount of your (external) research money for your own University discretionary use? If the answer is NO, that information would be useful. If YES, then a brief account would be appreciated. If you don't want to type much, send me your phone number and I will call you for the information. Thanks very much! Norm Badler Badler@cis.upenn.edu (215)898-5862

I'm looking for references or discussions on associating observations with agents in multi-agent domains. My concern is not so much with determining the goodness of association as it is with controlling which associations are explored (i.e. controlling the search). In particular, consider a domain in which the particular agents are not known but the general types and proportions of each type are known. There is a fixed set of sensors for observing these agents. None of the sensors provides absolute identification nor continuous observation. There is some knowledge about the typical behaviors of the different types of agents. The reasoner's problem is, when presented with a new sensor report, to determine whether to associate the report with a new agent or with a previously observed agent. The problem quickly becomes one of controlling the search of previously observed agents in order to see which are most likely to be associated with the new report. I have some ideas about the search, but I'd like to see other published ideas or talk to those wiser than I before I expose myself. Thank you for any consideration.
