In a combinatorial auction, a set of resources is for sale, and agents can bid on subsets of these resources. In a voting setting, the agents decide among a set of alternatives by...
We present a centralized and a distributed algorithms for scheduling multi-task agents in heterogeneous networks. Our centralized algorithm has an upper bound on the overall compl...
In a multi-agent system, the organization determines the architecture of the whole system, and the way and policies for agent collaboration and interactions. Although this is a key...
Abstract. In order to construct and deploy massively multiagent systems, we must address one of the fundamental issues of distributed systems, the possibility of partial failures. ...
This contribution presents a knowledge-based model of the agents’ mutual awareness (social knowledge) and justifies its role in various classes of applications of the concept of...
