In this paper, we focus on the problem of finding a periodic allocation strategy for teams of resource-bounded agents. We propose a real-time dynamic algorithm RTDA , that exploi...
Abstract— Many applications require teams of robots to cooperatively execute complex tasks. Among these domains are those where successful coordination solutions must respect con...

We present economically augmented job shop scheduling (EJSP) as an example of a coordination problem among selfinterested agents with private information. We discuss its signific...
