Winner determination in voting trees with incomplete preferences and weighted votes
In multiagent settings where agents have different preferences, preference aggregation can be an important issue. Voting is a general method to aggregate preferences. We consider ...

Kleene Theorems for Product Systems
We prove Kleene theorems for two subclasses of labelled product systems which are inspired from well-studied subclasses of 1bounded Petri nets. For product T-systems we define a c...

Pseudo-Tree-Based Incomplete Algorithm for Distributed Constraint Optimization with Quality Bounds
A Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) is a fundamental problem that can formalize various applications related to multi-agent cooperation. Since it is NP-hard, consi...

Concise characteristic function representations in coalitional games based on agent types
Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in AI and multi-agent systems (MAS). Thus, coalitional games, including Coalition Structure Generation (CSG), have been ...
