We consider collusion in multi-unit auctions where the allocation and payments are determined using the VCG mechanism. We show how collusion can increase the utility of the collud...
Grid computing intends to share heterogeneous resources in dynamic service-based environments. This kind of systems has the major advantages of enabling rapid composition of distr...
We present dcl-pc: a dynamic logic of delegation and cooperation. The logical foundation of dcl-pc is cl-pc, a logic for reasoning about cooperation in which the powers of agents ...
In this paper we present a cooperative negotiation protocol that solves a distributed resource allocation problem while conforming to soft real-time constraints in a dynamic envir...
In many multiagent approaches, it is usual to assume the existence of a common ontology among agents. However, in dynamic systems, the existence of such an ontology is unrealistic ...
