We study two properties of coalition formation algorithms, very important for their application in real-life scenarios: robustness and tolerance to some agent misbehaviors. The st...
In multi-agent applications, normative systems are usually used to regulate the behavior of the agents. They provide an efficient means to ensure limited deviations from an expecte...
The scientific research in the area of computational mechanisms for trust and reputation in virtual societies is a recent discipline oriented to increase the reliability and perfor...
A critical challenge to creating effective agent-based systems is allowing them to operate effectively when the operating environment is complex, dynamic, and error-prone. In this...
In this paper, we study graphs that arise from certain sensory and communication limitations on the local interactions in multi-agent systems. In particular, we show that the set ...
