Examples of figurative language can range from the explicit and the obvious to the implicit and downright enigmatic. Some simpler forms, like simile, often wear their meanings on...
Several distributed constraint reasoning algorithms employ Depth First Search (DFS) trees on the constraint graph that spans involved agents. In this article we show that it is po...
In auction theory, agents are typically presumed to have perfect knowledge of their valuations. In practice, though, they may face barriers to this knowledge due to transaction co...
We present in this paper a hybrid planning system which combines constraint satisfaction techniques and planning heuristics to produce optimal sequential plans. It integrates its ...
