Cooperation and autonomy are two antagonistic core variables of agent-based systems, and a key challenge in designing such systems is to balance these variables appropriately. Thi...
We consider the problem of incorporating arbitrary preferences in planning systems. A preference may be seen as a goal or constraint that is desirable, but not necessary, to satis...
Abstract. As agents move into ever more important applications, there is a natural growth in interest in techniques for synthesizing multiagent systems. We describe an approach for...
This paper presents Process Algebra for Predictible Control Systems (PAPCS) as a model for specifying and analysis of concurrent, time and resource dependent, distributed control s...
Overgeneralization is a major issue in the identification of grammars for formal languages from positive data. Different formulations of generalization and specialization strate...
