Abstract. Basic communication and coordination mechanisms of human social interaction are assumed to be mediated by perception-action links. These links ground the observation and ...
This paper presents a precise market model for a well-defined class of distributed configuration design problems. Given a design problem, the model defines a computational economy...
While the need to build the Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) based on on a distributed and cooperative (P2P) paradigm is being generally acknowledged, the field has been disconne...
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...
