Abstract. A crucial part of multi-agent system design is the design of agent interactions. Traditional approaches to designing agent interaction use interaction protocols, which fo...
Mechanism design (MD) has recently become a very popular approach in the design of distributed systems of autonomous agents. A key assumption required for the application of MD is...
Certain observable features (tags), shared by a group of similar agents, can be used to signal intentions and can be effectively used to infer unobservable properties. Such infere...
Self-organizing multi-agent systems (MAS) use different mechanisms to mimic the adaptation exhibited by complex systems situated in unpredictable and dynamic environments. These m...
The monopolist’s theory of optimal single-item auctions for agents with independent private values can be summarized by two statements. The first is from Myerson [8]: the optim...
