The underlying research topics and the architecture of the UBU team are briefly described. The aim of developing UBU is to subject a series of tools and procedures for agent decis...
Which agent architectures are capable of justifying descriptions in terms of the `higher level' mental concepts applicable to human beings? We propose a new kind of architect...
This paper focuses on the Noisy Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma, a version of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD) in which there is a nonzero probability that a "coop...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) has emerged as a useful technique for multiagent coordination. While previous DCOP work focuses on optimizing a single team objective, i...
In this paper we incorporate autonomous agents' capability to perform parallel interactions into the cooperative search model, resulting in a new method which outperforms the...
