—The traditional formulation of the total value of information transfer is a multi-commodity flow problem. Here, each data source is seen as generating a commodity along a fixe...
Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in AI and multi-agent systems (MAS). Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) involves partitioning a set of agents into coa...
Abstract. Many agent coordination problems can be modeled as distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs). ADOPT is an asynchronous and distributed search algorithm that is...
In this paper we introduce a new model for the definition and the implementation of quality of service (QoS) in distributed multimedia systems. The model provides both the users an...
