—Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all ag...
Early work on security-typed languages required that legal information flows be defined statically. More recently, techniques have been introduced that relax these assumptions a...

Decentralized Markov decision processes are frequently used to model cooperative multi-agent systems. In this paper, we identify a subclass of general DEC-MDPs that features regul...
The emerging ubiquitous computing vision is characterized by decentralized and ad hoc interoperation among devices and networks for access to services. Interacting devices or grou...
