Extreme Astrophysics with Neutron Stars (2009)
Lai, Dong, Van Kerkwijk, Marten, Arons, Jon, Beloborodov, Andrei, Brown, Edward, Cordes, James, ...
We highlight recent theoretical and observational progress in several areas of neutron star astrophysics, and discuss the prospect for advances in the next decade.
Olling, Rob P., Allen, Ron J., Anderson, Jay, Chaboyer, Brian C., Freedman, Wendy, Guhathakurta, Puragra, ...
Abridged: The golden age of astrophysics is upon us with both grand discoveries (extra-solar planets, dark matter, dark energy) and precision cosmology. Fundamental understanding of the working of...
Shaya, Edward, Olling, Robert, Ricotti, Massimo, Vogel, Stuart, Majewski, Steven R., Patterson, Richard J., ...
The fact that dark matter (DM), thus far, has revealed itself only on scales of galaxies and larger, again thrusts onto astrophysics the opportunity and the responsibility to confront the age old...
Kaa: Policy-based Explorations of a Richer Model for Adjustable Autonomy (2008)
Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, Hyuckchul Jung, Shri Kulkarni, Matthew Johnson, Paul Feltovich, Larry Bunch, ...
Though adjustable autonomy is hardly a new topic in agent systems, there has been a general lack of consensus on terminology and basic concepts. In this paper, we describe the multi-dimensional...
Niranjan Suri, Jeffrey Bradshaw, Mark Burstein, Andrzej Uszok, Brett Benyo, Maggie Breedy, ...
Software agents have been proposed as a solution to integrate existing heterogeneous and stovepiped information systems. These capabilities extend agent autonomy to encompass communication and...
A comprehensive study of GRB 070125, a most energetic gamma ray burst (2008)
Chandra, Poonam, Cenko, S. Bradley, Frail, Dale, Chevalier, Roger, Macquart, Jean-Pierre, Kulkarni, Shri, ...
We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of the bright, long duration gamma-ray burst GRB 070125, comprised of observations in $\gamma$-ray, X-ray, optical, millimeter and centimeter...
Constraints on type Ib/c supernovae and gamma-ray burst progenitors (2007)

Masses of Astrometrically-Discovered and Imaged Binaries: G 78-28AB and GJ 231.1BC (2006)
Pravdo, Steven H., Shaklan, Stuart B., Wiktorowicz, Sloane J., Kulkarni, Shri, Lloyd, James P., Martinache, Frantz, ...
The Stellar Planet Survey (STEPS) is an ongoing astrometric search for giant planets and brown dwarfs around a sample of ~30 M-dwarfs. We have discovered several low-mass companions by measuring the...
A Spitzer Search for Infrared Excesses around Massive Young White Dwarfs (2005)
Hansen, Brad M. S., Kulkarni, Shri, Wiktorowicz, Sloane
We examine 14 hot white dwarfs for signs of infrared excess using the Spitzer Space Telescope. Twelve of the objects are massive white dwarfs which have been suggested to be the result of binary...
Behavioural specification of grid services with the KAoS policy language (2005)
Luc Moreau, Jeff Bradshaw, Maggie Breedy, Larry Bunch, Pat Hayes, Matt Johnson, ...
Complex services in Service-Oriented Architectures such as the Grid typically require to be configured in multiple ways that cannot be anticipated by service designers; we illustrate this requirement...
Toward Trustworthy Adjustable Autonomy and Mixed-Initiative Interaction in KAoS (2004)
Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, Hyuckchul Jung, Shri Kulkarni, Matthew Johnson, Paul Feltovich, James Allen, ...
Abstract. Trust is arguably the most crucial aspect of agent acceptability. At its simplest level, it can be characterized in terms of judgments that people make concerning three factors: an...
Policy-based coordination in joint human-agent activity (2004)
Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, Paul Feltovich, Hyuckchul Jung, Shri Kulkarni, James Allen, Larry Bunch, ...
Abstract – In this paper, we outline an approach to policy-based coordination in joint human-agent activity. The approach is grounded in a theory of joint activity originally developed in the...
Toward Trustworthy Adjustable Autonomy and Mixed-Initiative Interaction in KAoS (2004)
Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, Hyuckchul Jung, Shri Kulkarni, James Allen, Larry Bunch, Nathanael Chambers, ...
Trust is arguably the most crucial aspect of agent acceptability. Many aspects of trust can be addressed through policy. Policies are a means to dynamically regulate the behavior of system components...
