Conflicts exist in multi-agent systems. Agents have different interests and desires. Agents also hold different beliefs and may make different assumptions. To resolve conflicts, ag...
In cooperative multi-agent systems, roles are used as a design concept when creating large systems, they are known to facilitate specialization of agents, and they can help to redu...
: The complexity and scope of software systems continues to grow. One approach to dealing with this growing complexity is the use of intelligent, multi-agent systems. However, due ...
In this paper we introduce a new formalism to represent multi-agent systems where resources can be exchanged among different agents by maximizing the utility of the agents conformi...
In this paper, we present a multi-agent system implementing a fully distributed Social Network System supporting user profiles as FOAF profiles. This system is built around the ide...
This paper reports on three notable examples of the use of multi-agent systems in the Italian Industry. First, we introduce the topic and we outline some examples of real-world age...
This presents a study in which a high level abstract architecture was used to design open multi-agent systems and virtual organizations that offer services with temporal constraint...
Real-time computations in multi-agent systems have been studied from different perspectives of reasoning, message passing, resource management and negotiations. Separate treatment...
To achieve the multi-agent systems’ goals, agents interact to exchange information, to cooperate and to coordinate their tasks. Interaction is generally recognized as an importa...
Answer sharing is a key element in multi-agent systems as it allows agents to collaborate towards achieving a global goal. However exogenous knowledge of the world can influence e...
