Systems of autonomous agents providing automated services over the Web are fast becoming a reality. Often these agent systems are constructed using procedural architectures that pr...
Recent research has shown that virtual agents expressing empathic emotions toward users have the potentiality to enhance human-machine interaction. To provide empathic capabilitie...
In this paper we consider decision making under hierarchical imprecise uncertainty models and derive general algorithms to determine optimal actions. Numerical examples illustrate...
Research on coalition formation usually assumes the values of potential coalitions to be known with certainty. Furthermore, settings in which agents lack sufficient knowledge of ...
The Disjunctive Temporal Problem with Uncertainty (DTPU) is an extension of the Disjunctive Temporal Problem (DTP) that accounts for events not under the control of the executing a...
