Analyzing the dynamics of stigmergetic interactions through pheromone games
The concept of stigmergy provides a simple framework for interaction and coordination in multi-agent systems. However, determining the global system behavior that will arise from ...

Letting loose a SPIDER on a network of POMDPs: generating quality guaranteed policies
Distributed Partially Observable Markov Decision Problems (Distributed POMDPs) are a popular approach for modeling multi-agent systems acting in uncertain domains. Given the signi...

Using the Max-Plus Algorithm for Multiagent Decision Making in Coordination Graphs
Abstract. Coordination graphs offer a tractable framework for cooperative multiagent decision making by decomposing the global payoff function into a sum of local terms. Each age...
