We study peer-to-peer service networks consisting of autonomous agents who seek and provide services. To fulfill its local needs, an agent attempts to discover and select informa...
Much of artificial intelligence research is focused on devising optimal solutions for challenging and well-defined but highly constrained problems. However, as we begin creating...
