From an Integrated Usability Framework to Lessons on Usability and Performance of Open Government Data Portals: A Comparative Study of European Union and Gulf Cooperation Council Countries
Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives aim to enhance public participation and collaboration by making government data accessible to diverse stakeholders, fostering social, environmental, and economic benefits through public value generation. However, challenges such as declining popularity, lack of OGD portal usability, and private interests overshadowing public accessibility persist. This study proposes an integrated usability framework for evaluating OGD portals, focusing on inclusivity, use…

Cooperative Evolutionary Pressure and Diminishing Returns Might Explain the Fermi Paradox: On What Super-AIs Are Like
With an evolutionary approach, the basis of morality can be explained as adaptations to problems of cooperation. With 'evolution' taken in a broad sense, evolving AIs that satisfy the conditions for evolution to apply will be subject to the same cooperative evolutionary pressure as biological entities. Here the adaptiveness of increased cooperation as material safety and wealth increase is discussed -- for humans, for other societies, and for AIs. Diminishing beneficial returns from increased a…

Distributed MPC for Self-Organized Cooperation of Multiagent Systems -- Extended Version
We present a sequential distributed model predictive control (MPC) scheme for cooperative control of multi-agent systems with dynamically decoupled heterogeneous nonlinear agents subject to individual constraints. In the scheme, we explore the idea of using tracking MPC with artificial references to let agents coordinate their cooperation without external guidance. Each agent combines a tracking MPC with artificial references, the latter penalized by a suitable coupling cost. They solve an indi…

Revisiting institutional punishment in the $N$-person prisoner's dilemma
The conflict between individual and collective interests makes fostering cooperation in human societies a challenging task, requiring drastic measures such as the establishment of sanctioning institutions. These institutions are costly because they have to be maintained regardless of the presence or absence of offenders. Here, we propose realistic improvements to the standard $N$-person prisoner's dilemma formulation with institutional punishment by eliminating overpunishment, requiring a minim…

A story of cooperation: Centrosome-cytoskeleton interactions and implications
A structural link between cell's centrosome and cytoskeleton has been proposed years ago. Centrosomes are usually located in the proximity to the nuclei and maintain nucleus-centrosome axis. This positioning aids in determining the polarity of interphase cells and ensure spindle assembly in mitotic cells. Centrosome also maintains physical interaction with different forms of cytoskeleton to trade-off between internal architecture and cell polarity in tissue specific as well as development speci…

Enhancing social cohesion with cooperative bots in societies of greedy, mobile individuals
Addressing collective issues in social development requires a high level of social cohesion, characterized by cooperation and close social connections. However, social cohesion is challenged by selfish, greedy individuals. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), the dynamics of human-machine hybrid interactions introduce new complexities in fostering social cohesion. This study explores the impact of simple bots on social cohesion from the perspective of human-machine hybrid popul…

Catalytic evolution of cooperation in a population with behavioural bimodality
The remarkable adaptability of humans in response to complex environments is often demonstrated by the context-dependent adoption of different behavioral modes. However, the existing game-theoretic studies mostly focus on the single-mode assumption, and the impact of this behavioral multimodality on the evolution of cooperation remains largely unknown. Here, we study how cooperation evolves in a population with two behavioral modes. Specifically, we incorporate Q-learning and Tit-for-Tat (TFT) …

Mixed Strategy Nash Equilibrium for Crowd Navigation
Robots navigating in crowded areas should negotiate free space with humans rather than fully controlling collision avoidance, as this can lead to freezing behavior. Game theory provides a framework for the robot to reason about potential cooperation from humans for collision avoidance during path planning. In particular, the mixed strategy Nash equilibrium captures the negotiation behavior under uncertainty, making it well suited for crowd navigation. However, computing the mixed strategy Nash …

Branching processes with pairwise interactions
In this manuscript, we are interested in the long-term behaviour of branching processes with pairwise interactions (BPI-processes). A process in this class behaves as a pure branching process with the difference that competition and cooperation events between pairs of individuals are also allowed. Here, we provide a series of integral tests that explain how competition and cooperation regulate the long-term behaviour of BPI-processes. In particular, such integral tests describe the events of ex…

Mycorrhizal Fungi and Plant Symbiosis for Energy Harvesting in the Internet of Plants
Biological entities in nature have developed sophisticated communication methods over millennia to facilitate cooperation. Among these entities, plants are some of the most intricate communicators. They interact with each other through various communication modalities, creating networks that enable the exchange of information and nutrients. In this paper, we explore this collective behavior and its components. We then introduce the concept of agent plants, outlining their architecture and detai…
