Algorithmic Mechanism Design focuses on Dominant Strategy Implementations. The main positive results are the celebrated Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanisms and computationally ...
We consider the problem of finding an n-agent jointpolicy for the optimal finite-horizon control of a decentralized Pomdp (Dec-Pomdp). This is a problem of very high complexity ...
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
In complex distributed applications, a problem is often decomposed into a set of subproblems that are distributed to multiple agents. We formulate this class of problems with a tw...
In this thesis, we describe a decentralized supply chain formation problem where the
supply chain planner or a central design authority (CDA) is faced with the decision
of choosi...
