Though recent analysis of traditional cooperative coevolutionary algorithms (CCEAs) casts doubt on their suitability for static optimization tasks, our experience is that the algo...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) provides a rich framework for modeling multi-agent coordination problems. Existing problem domains for DCOP focus on small (<100 vari...
In the field of multiagent systems (MAS), the computational models of trust and reputation have attracted increasing interest since electronic and open environments became a reali...
— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
The concept of the Virtual Software Corporation (VSC) has recently become a practical reality as a result of advances in communication and distributed technologies. However, there...
