We present a mechanism for collaboration and coordination amongst agents in multi-agent societies seeking social equity. This mechanism allows to compute egalitarian allocations of...
Abstract- This paper presents a comparative study between genetic and probabilistic search approaches of evolutionary computation. They are both applied for optimizing the behavior...
The expected first hitting time is an important issue in theoretical analyses of evolutionary algorithms since it implies the average computational time complexity. In this paper,...
This paper presents a novel, unified distributed constraint satisfaction framework based on automated negotiation. The Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problem (DCSP) is one t...
We analyse scenarios in which self-interested agents negotiate with each other in order to agree on deals to exchange resources. We consider two variants of the framework, one whe...
