The Impact of Network Structure on the Perturbation Dynamics of a Multi-agent Economic Model
Complex adaptive systems (CAS) modeling has become a common tool to study the behavioral dynamics of agents in a broad range of disciplines from ecology to economics. Many modelers...

Towards a unifying characterization for quantifying weak coupling in dec-POMDPs
Researchers in the field of multiagent sequential decision making have commonly used the terms “weakly-coupled” and “loosely-coupled” to qualitatively classify problems i...

Compliance verification of agent interaction: a logic-based software tool
In open societies of agents, where agents are autonomous and heterogeneous, it is not realistic to assume that agents will always act so as to comply to interaction protocols. Thu...

Improving Flexibility and Robustness in Agent Interactions: Extending Prometheus with Hermes
Abstract. A crucial part of multi-agent system design is the design of agent interactions. Traditional approaches to designing agent interaction use interaction protocols, which fo...
