Overlay topology plays an important role in P2P systems. Topology serves as a basis for achieving functions such as routing, searching and information dissemination, and it has a m...
In the design of resource bounded agents, high-level cognitive activities, such as reasoning, raise important problems related both to the adaptive ability and to the computationa...
We study agent societies where self-interested agents interact repeatedly over extended time periods. In particular, we are interested in environments where agents can form mutual...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
The possibility of building self-aware software fascinated computer scientist since the beginning of computer science. Research in AI, and in particular on software agents, agent s...
