In this paper we present a methodology for deciding the bidding strategy of agents participating in a significant number of simultaneous auctions, when finding an analytical sol...
In this paper, an agent architecture is proposed that can be used to integrate pre-existing components that provide the domain dependent agent functionality. The key integrating fe...
The research on exception handling in Multi-Agent Systems has produced some advanced models to deal with `exceptional situations'. The expression `agent exception' is how...
We describe a bottom-up approach to the design of software agents. We built and tested an agent system that addresses the real-world problem of handling the activities involved in...
