In this paper, we describe a software system that generates unique musical compositions in realtime, created by four autonomous multi-agents. Given no explicit musical data, agent...
This paper investigates cooperative search strategies for agents engaged in costly search in a complex environment. Searching cooperatively, several search goals can be satisfied w...
Abstract. Emergence--macro-level effects from micro-level causes--is at the heart of the conflict between reductionism and functionalism. How can there be autonomous higher level l...
We consider a stochastic model for distributed average consensus, which arises in applications such as load balancing for parallel processors, distributed coordination of mobile a...
Allocating resources in networks to QoS flows may require undesirable delays or costs. We consider a dynamic Service Level Agreement (SLA) negotiation scheme between peer autonomo...
