The governance of open multi-agent systems is particular important since those systems are composed by heterogeneous, autonomous and independently designed agents. Such governance ...

Conversations involving three or more agents often occur in multi-agent systems, for example in brokering and auction protocols typically used in e-commerce. For developing agents ...
Consider an open infrastructure in which anyone can deploy mechanisms to support automated decision making and coordination amongst self-interested computational agents. Strategyp...
