We present a unified framework for modeling and solving invariant point pattern matching problems. Invariant features are encoded as potentials in a probabilistic graphical model....
Social laws have proved to be a powerful and theoretically elegant framework for coordination in multi-agent systems. Most existing models of social laws assume that a designer is...
Norm-governed virtual organizations define, govern and facilitate coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in societies of agents. With an explicit account of norms, openn...

Distributed systems can often be modeled as a collection of distributed (system) variables whose values are constrained by a set of constraints. In distributed multi-agent systems...

We propose an efficient method that applies directed soft arc consistency to a Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) which is a fundamental framework of multi-agent ...
