We present a method for using real world mobility traces to identify tractable theoretical models for the study of distributed algorithms in mobile networks. We validate the metho...
This paper is concerned with the problem of obtaining predictable interactions between groups of agents in open environments when individual agents do not expose their bdi logic. ...

Mediation is the process of decomposing a task into subtasks, finding agents suitable for these subtasks and negotiating with agents to obtain commitments to execute these subtas...
— This paper describes a novel, ultra-fast heuristic algorithm to address an NP-hard optimization problem. One of its significances is that, for the first time, the paper shows...
Two key issues in building multi-agent systems concern their scalability and engineering open systems. We offer solutions to these potential problems by introducing a lifecycle fo...
