Agent Reasoning Mechanism for Long-Term Coalitions Based on Decision Making and Trust
We address long-term coalitions that are formed of both customer and vendor agents. We present a coalition formation mechanism designed at the agent level as a decision problem. Th...

Using Inter-agent Trust Relationships for Efficient Coalition Formation
We address long-term coalitions that are formed of both customer and vendor agents after evaluating their trust relationships with other agents in the system. We present a coalitio...

Complexity of constructing solutions in the core based on synergies among coalitions
Coalition formation is a key problem in automated negotiation among self-interested agents, and other multiagent applications. A coalition of agents can sometimes accomplish thing...

Coalitions in Cooperative Wireless Networks
Cooperation between rational users in wireless networks is studied using coalitional game theory. Using the rate achieved by a user as its utility, it is shown that the stable coal...

An algorithm for distributing coalitional value calculations among cooperating agents
The process of forming coalitions of software agents generally requires calculating a value for every possible coalition which indicates how beneficial that coalition would be if...

Higher-Order Coalition Logic
We introduce and study higher-order coalition logic, a multi modal monadic second-order logic with operators [{x}] expressing that the coalition of all agents satisfying (x) can ac...

Coalition structure generation in multi-agent systems with mixed externalities
Coalition structure generation (CSG) for multi-agent systems is a well-studied problem. A vast majority of the previous work and the state-of-the-art approaches to CSG assume a ch...

Coalitions in Action Logic
If modal logics for coalitions need to be applied, one must know how to translate coalition power into agents’ actions. To these days, the connection between coalition power and...
