There has been substantial progress with formal models for sequential decision making by individual agents using the Markov decision process (MDP). However, similar treatment of m...

Most agent systems today are closed and static. That is, one uses Agent-Oriented Software Engineering techniques to build agent systems in which the set of agents is specified ahe...
Optimal behavior is a very desirable property of autonomous agents and, as such, has received much attention over the years. However, making optimal decisions and executing optima...
We have recently introduced a hyper-heuristic genetic algorithm (hyper-GA) with an adaptive length chromosome which aims to evolve an ordering of low-level heuristics so as to find...
In software engineering it is widely acknowledged that the usage of metrics at the initial phases of the object oriented software life cycle can help designers to make better decis...
