In the design of resource bounded agents, high-level cognitive activities, such as reasoning, raise important problems related both to the adaptive ability and to the computationa...
Game theory is popular in agent systems for designing auctions with desirable properties. However, many of these properties will only hold if the game and its properties are commo...
While there has been much work on developing frameworks and models of norms and normative systems, consideration of the impact of norms on the practical reasoning of agents has at...
