In many settings, agents need to identify competent partners to assist them in accomplishing tasks. Direct experience may not provide sufficient data to learn the competence of ot...
Supply chain formation is the process of determining the structure and terms of exchange relationships to enable a multilevel, multiagent production activity. We present a simple ...
Modern software control systems must cope with uncertainty, manage dynamic environments, as well as provide greater flexibility. Distributed agent-based control systems are the id...
This paper asks a new question: how can we control the collective behavior of self-organized multi-agent systems? We try to answer the question by proposing a new notion called `So...
In this paper, we describe a nature-inspired optimization algorithm based on bee foraging behavior. This algorithm combines the high performance of bee path-integration navigation...
