Being able to ensure that a multiagent system will not generate undesirable behaviors is essential within the context of critical applications (embedded systems or real-time system...

The ability to coordinate effectively is critical for agents to accomplish their goals in a multi-agent system. A number of researchers have modeled the coordination problem for m...
We study the problem of agents locating other agents that are both capable and willing to help complete assigned tasks. An agent incurs a fixed cost for each help request it sends...
Auctions are promising decentralized methods for teams of agents to allocate and re-allocate tasks among themselves in dynamic, partially known and time-constrained domains with p...
In this paper, we examine the behavior of bidding agents that are in direct competition with the other participants in an auction setting. Thus the agents are not simply trying to...
