We consider a resource access control scenario in an open multi-agent system. We specify a mutable set of rules to determine how resource allocation is decided, and minimally assum...
We consider the problem of how to design large decentralized multiagent systems (MAS’s) in an automated fashion, with little or no hand-tuning. Our approach has each agent run a...
We propose an evolutionary framework for studying agents that interact in electronic marketplaces. We describe how this framework could be used to study the dynamics of interactio...
Optimal behavior is a very desirable property of autonomous agents and, as such, has received much attention over the years. However, making optimal decisions and executing optima...
Abstract. There are many domains in which a multi-agent system needs to maximize a "system utility" function which rates the performance of the entire system, while subje...
