Generally, swarm models and algorithms consider synchronous agents, i.e., they act simultaneously. This hypothesis does not fit multi-agent simulators nor robotic systems. In this...
We present an application of a multi-agent cooperative search approach to the problem of optimizing gas pipeline operations, i.e. finding control parameters for a gas transmission...
Software coordination models and languages describe how agents, resources and processes work together to implement a software system. One of their limitations is that they are use...
We introduce the Consensual N-Player Prisoner’s Dilemma as a large-scale dilemma. We then present a framework for cooperative consensus formation in large-scale MAS under the N-P...
For Peer-2-Peer (P2P) networks to realize their full potential their nodes need to coordinate and cooperate, to improve the performance of the network as a whole. But this requires...
