In most multiagent systems with communicating agents, the agents have the luxury of using reliable, multi-step negotiation protocols. They can do so primarily when communication i...
Social commitments are developed for multi-agent systems according to the current practice in law regarding contract formation and breach. Deafeasible commitments are used to provi...
An agent-based approach is used to explain the formation of vortex swarms in biological systems. The dynamics of the multiagent system is described by 3N coupled equations, modeli...
Online mechanism design considers the problem of sequential decision making in a multi-agent system with self-interested agents. The agent population is dynamic and each agent has...
