In Agent Mediated Electronic Commerce, autonomy of agents is an important property. On one hand, it has to be favored to make the agents able to determine and adapt their own goal...
In this paper we will examine two main aspects of trust dynamics: a) How direct experiences involving trust, with their successes or failures, influence the future trust of an age...
Adaptation is an essential requirement for self–organizing multi–agent systems functioning in unknown dynamic environments. Adaptation allows agents, e.g., robots, to change th...
One of the main challenges in Grid computing is efficient allocation of resources (CPU-hours, network bandwidth, etc.) to the tasks submitted by users. Due to the lack of centrali...
The design and development of open multi-agent systems (MAS) is a key aspect in agent research. We advocate that they can be realised as electronic institutions. In this paper we ...
In order to succeed, agents playing games must reason about the mechanics of the game, the strategies of other agents, other agents’ reasoning about their strategies, and the ra...
This paper is concerned with merging globally rigid formations of mobile autonomous agents. A key element in all future multi-agent systems will be the role of sensor and communic...
