In this paper, we propose an agent-centric approach to resource description and selection in a multiagent information retrieval (IR). In the multiagent system, each agent learns f...
Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP) have, for a long time, been considered an important research area for multi-agent systems because a vast number of realworld si...
