In typical multiagent teamwork settings, the teammates are either programmed together, or are otherwise provided with standard communication languages and coordination protocols. ...
This paper describes how multiagent systems can be used to achieve robust software, one of the major goals of software engineering. The paper first positions itself within the sof...

This paper presents an applicable model for complex multiattribute negotiations between autonomous agents. The model adopts a novel protocol which decomposes the original n-dimens...
We apply an adapted version of Particle Swarm Optimization to distributed unsupervised robotic learning in groups of robots with only local information. The performance of the lea...
