Distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs) are a popular way of formulating and solving agent-coordination problems. It is often desirable to solve DCOPs optimally with m...
Although normative systems, or social laws, have proved to be a highly influential approach to coordination in multi-agent systems, the issue of compliance to such normative syste...
A spatial computer is a distributed multi-agent system that is embedded in a geometric space. A key challenge is engineering local agent interaction rules that enable spatial comp...
In many complex multi-agent domains it is impractical to compute exact analytic solutions. An alternate means of analysis applies computational tools to derive and analyze empiric...
This paper considers the problem of performing decentralised coordination of low-power embedded devices (as is required within many environmental sensing and surveillance applicat...
