Abstract— This paper presents new algorithms for conducting cooperative sensing using a mobile backbone network. This hierarchical sensing approach combines backbone nodes, which...
The iterated prisoner’s dilemma is a widely used computational model of cooperation and conflict. Many studies report emergent cooperation in populations of agents trained to p...
In cooperative multiagent systems an alternative that maximizes the social welfare--the sum of utilities--can only be selected if each agent reports its full utility function. Thi...
We consider collusion in multi-unit auctions where the allocation and payments are determined using the VCG mechanism. We show how collusion can increase the utility of the collud...
We investigate the role of cooperation in wireless networks subject to a spatial degrees of freedom limitation. To address the worst case scenario, we consider a free-space lineof-...
