A Multi-Agent Approach for Peer-to-Peer Based Information Retrieval System
This paper develops and analyzes distributed search techniques for use in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network-based Information Retrieval (IR) system. In the absence of a centralized med...

Q-value functions for decentralized POMDPs
Planning in single-agent models like MDPs and POMDPs can be carried out by resorting to Q-value functions: a (near-) optimal Q-value function is computed in a recursive manner by ...
