Decentralized Markov decision processes are frequently used to model cooperative multi-agent systems. In this paper, we identify a subclass of general DEC-MDPs that features regul...
This paper describes an agent-based platform for the allocation of loads in distributed transportation logistics, developed as a collaboration between CWI, Dutch National Center f...
We build on recent work on argumentation frameworks for generating desires and plans. We provide a rich instantiDung's abstract argumentation framework for (i) generating con...
We consider the use of multi-agent systems to control network routing. Conventional approaches to this task are based on Ideal Shortest Path routing Algorithm (ISPA), under which ...
Protocols enable unambiguous, smooth interactions among agents. Commitments among agents are a powerful means of developing protocols. Commitments enable flexible execution of pro...
