Abstract. We describe an approach for learning the model of the opponent in spatio-temporal negotiation. We use the Children in the Rectangular Forest canonical problem as an examp...
The importance of the efforts towards integrating the symbolic and connectionist paradigms of artificial intelligence has been widely recognised. Integration may lead to more e...
For many large systems the computational complexity of complete model-based diagnosis is prohibitive. In this paper we investigate the speedup of the diagnosis process by exploiti...
We present a simple ant model that solves a discrete foraging problem. We describe simulations and provide a complete convergence analysis: we show that the ant population compute...
Many industrial or research activities are so expensive that it is often benefitable for the involved agents to cofund the construction or the purchase of a common required resou...
