In a distributed multi-agent based software environment, the traditional monolithic user model ceases to exist and is replaced by user model fragments, developed by the various so...
Abstract. Goals are central to the design and implementation of intelligent software agents. Much of the literature on goals and reasoning about goals only deals with a limited set...

—The Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (DVRP) is an optimization problem in which agents deliver orders that are not known in advance to the routing. Partial solutions need to be a...
Abstract. Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multi-agent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly...
Multi-agent systems are prone to failures typical of any distributed system. Agents and resources may become unavailable due to machine crashes, communication breakdowns, process ...
