As agent systems are solving more and more complex tasks in increasingly challenging domains, the systems themselves are becoming more complex too, often compromising their adapti...
It is widely accepted in Distributed Artificial Intelligence that a crucial property of artificial agents is their autonomy. Whereas agent autonomy enables features of agent-base...
Large systems of agents deployed in a real-world environment face threats to their problem solving performance that are independent of the complexity of the problem or the charact...
We study agent societies where self-interested agents interact repeatedly over extended time periods. In particular, we are interested in environments where agents can form mutual...
Reciprocity is a key determinant of human behavior and has been well documented in the psychological and behavioral economics literature. This paper shows that reciprocity has sig...
