Decentralized MDPs provide powerful models of interactions in multi-agent environments, but are often very difficult or even computationally infeasible to solve optimally. Here we...
On-line transducers are an important class of computational agent; we construct and compose together many software systems using them, such as stream processors, layered network p...
The Cell processor is a heterogeneous multi-core processor with one Power Processing Engine (PPE) core and eight Synergistic Processing Engine (SPE) cores. Each SPE has a directly...

Commitment-modeled protocols enable flexible and robust interactions among agents. However, existing work has focused on features and capabilities of protocols without considerin...
In the multilevel generalized assignment problem (MGAP) agents can perform tasks at more than one efficiency level. Important manufacturing problems, such as lot sizing, can be ea...
