The goal of this paper is to explore the effects of synchronization on distributed decision making processes. In particular, we examine the dynamics of a spatially distributed mul...
From a multiagent viewpoint, a workflow is a dynamic set of tasks performed by a set of agents to reach a shared goal. We show herein that commitments among agents can be used to ...
In most mechanism design settings, optimal general-purpose mechanisms are not known. Thus the automated design of mechanisms tailored to specific instances of a decision scenario...
