Realistic workloads are essential in evaluating middleware for computational grids. One important component is the raw grid itself: a network topology graph annotated with the har...

Auctions are useful mechanism for allocating items (goods, tasks, resources, etc.) in multiagent systems. The bulk of auction theory assumes that the bidders’ valuations for ite...
The typical software engineering course consists of lectures in which concepts and theories are conveyed, along with a small “toy” software engineering project which attempts ...
A number of agent-oriented programming systems are based on a framework of beliefs, desires and intentions (BDI) and more explicitly on the BDI logic of Rao and Georgeff. In this ...
