We investigate two forms of dependence between variables and/or formulas within a propositional knowledge base: controllability (a set of variables X controls a formula , if there...
Computational trust and reputation models have been recognized as one of the key technologies required to design and implement agent systems. These models manage and aggregate the...
Multi agent learning systems pose an interesting set of problems: in large environments agents may develop localised behaviour patterns that are not necessarily optimal; in a pure...
