This paper develops a new combinatorial auction protocol called the Groves Mechanism with SubModular Approximation (GM-SMA). This protocol satisfies the following characteristics:...
Abstract. Model-checking alternating-time properties has recently attracted much interest in the verification of distributed protocols. While checking the validity of a specificati...
Automatic image orientation detection for natural images is a useful, yet challenging research area. Humans use scene context and semantic object recognition to identify the corre...
Designing cost-sensitive real-time control systems for safetycritical applications requires a careful analysis of the cost/coverage trade-offs of fault-tolerant solutions. This fu...

One large and quite interesting family of MAS applications is characterized (1) by their large scale in terms of number of agents and physical distribution, (2) by their very dynam...
