Research in Distributed Artificial Intelligence is concerned with how automated agents can be designed to interact effectively. One important capability that could aid inter-agent...
Preference-based queries often referred to as skyline queries play an important role in cooperative query processing. However, their prohibitive result sizes pose a severe challen...
Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and...
