A significant body of work in multiagent systems over more than two decades has focused on multi-agent coordination (1). Many challenges in multi-agent coordination can be modeled ...
In this paper we consider the problem of maximising utility in linked market-driven distributed and Grid systems. In such systems, users submit jobs through brokers who can virtua...
