Agents in open multi-agent systems (MAS) need means for locating other agents with which they may collaborate. To address this need, several agent location mechanisms were suggest...
Methods for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP) have emerged as key techniques for distributed reasoning. Yet, their application faces significant hurdles...
We describe a very large scale distributed robotic system, involving a team of over 100 robots, that has been successfully deployed in large, unknown indoor environments, over ext...
abstract. In this paper we investigate a formalism for solving planning problems based on ordered task decomposition using Answer Set Programming (ASP). Our planning methodology is...
: Optimizers in modern DBMSs utilize a cost model to choose an efficient query execution plan (QEP) among all possible ones for a given query. The accuracy of the cost estimates de...
