Interaction protocols enable agents to communicate with each other effectively. Whereas several approaches exist to specify interaction protocols, none of them has design tools th...
One of the difficulties to adapt MDPs for the control of cooperative multi-agent systems, is the complexity issued from Decentralized MDPs. Moreover, existing approaches can not ...
Many multi-agent systems consist of a complex network of autonomous yet interdependent agents. Examples of such networked multi-agent systems include supply chains and sensor netw...
Most agent systems today are closed and static. That is, one uses Agent-Oriented Software Engineering techniques to build agent systems in which the set of agents is specified ahe...
Modern peer-to-peer file sharing systems rely heavily on the willingness of users to distribute files to others. A selfish user can choose to download a file and consume resou...
