We show that reputation is a basic ingredient in the Virtual Organisation (VO) formation process. Agents can use their experiences gained in direct past interactions to model other...
Abstract. An autonomous agent may largely benefit from its ability to reconstruct another agent’s reasoning principles from records of past events and general knowledge about th...
Conditional symmetry arises in a sub-problem of a constraint satisfaction problem, where the sub-problem satisfies some condition under which additional symetries hold. Typically...

Abstract. We present a parameterized approximation scheme for distributed combinatorial optimization problems based on dynamic programming. The algorithm is a utility propagation m...
In this paper, we describe an approach to artificial life, which uses Qualitative Reasoning for the simulation of life within a 3D virtual environment. This system uses qualitative...
