In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework targeting three important issues in the computation of quality and trust in decentralized systems. Specifically, our approach a...
Abstract. We present a trust model extension that attempts to relax the assumptions that are currently taken by the majority of existing trust models: (i) proven identity of agents...
A Multi-agent system (MAS) is an open distributed system of agents. The agents in a MAS may form certain specific groups, where agents in each group jointly engage in solving a s...
In this paper, we tackle learning in distributed systems and the fact that learning does not necessarily involve the participation of agents directly in the inductive process itse...
Delayed arrivals, missing tag codes, flight changes, break-downs, etc. are some of the factors, which make the environment of airport baggage handling systems (BHS) extremely dyn...
