Multiagent Planning with Factored MDPs
We present a principled and efficient planning algorithm for cooperative multiagent dynamic systems. A striking feature of our method is that the coordination and communication be...

Using multi-agent platform for pure decentralised business workflows
This paper describes the development of a distributed multi-agent workflow enacting mechanism starting from a BPEL4WS[BPE03] specification. Our work demonstrates that a multi-agent...

A systematic approach to plant-wide control based on thermodynamics
In this work, a systematic approach to plant-wide control design is proposed. The method combines ingredients from process networks, thermodynamics and systems theory to derive ro...

Sequentially updated Probability Collectives
— Multi-agent coordination problems can be cast as distributed optimization tasks. Probability Collectives (PCs) are techniques that deal with such problems in discrete and conti...

Consensus in non-commutative spaces
Convergence analysis of consensus algorithms is revisited in the light of the Hilbert distance. The Lyapunov function used in the early analysis by Tsitsiklis is shown to be the Hi...
