We consider P colonies as introduced in [4] and investigate their computational power when working in the maximally parallel and in the sequential mode. It turns out that there is...
Previous work on task scheduling mechanisms assumed that the agent’s goal is to maximize its own profit without considering the effect of its strategy on the other agents’ pr...
In this paper we consider the following maximum budgeted allocation (MBA) problem: Given a set of m indivisible items and n agents; each agent i willing to pay bij on item j and w...
Given a set A of m agents and a set I of n items, where agent A ∈ A has utility uA,i for item i ∈ I, our goal is to allocate items to agents to maximize fairness. Specificall...

We introduce in this paper an agent model based on coherence theory. We give a formalization of Thagard’s theory on coherence and use it to explain the reasoning process of an in...
