This paper presents a specific contracting algorithm that contributes to the process of distributed planning and resource allocation in competitive, semi-trusted environments. The ...
This paper presents snlp+ebl, the first implementation of explanation based learning techniques for a partial order planner. We describe the basic learning framework of snlp+ebl, ...
When autonomous agents decide on their bidding strategies in real world auctions, they have a number of concerns that go beyond the models that are normally analyzed in traditiona...
One aspect of rational behavior is that agents can pursue multiple goals in parallel. Current BDI theory and systems do not provide a theoretical or architectural framework for de...
