Commitment-driven distributed joint policy search
Decentralized MDPs provide powerful models of interactions in multi-agent environments, but are often very difficult or even computationally infeasible to solve optimally. Here we...

A Space-Based Generic Pattern for Self-Initiative Load Balancing Agents
Abstract. Load-Balancing is a significant problem in heterogeneous distributed systems. There exist many load balancing algorithms, however, most approaches are very problem speci...

Quasi deterministic POMDPs and DecPOMDPs
In this paper, we study a particular subclass of partially observable models, called quasi-deterministic partially observable Markov decision processes (QDET-POMDPs), characterize...

Optimizing information exchange in cooperative multi-agent systems
Decentralized control of a cooperative multi-agent system is the problem faced by multiple decision-makers that share a common set of objectives. The decision-makers may be robots...

Establishing Timing Requirements and Control Attributes for Control Loops in Real-Time Systems
Advances in scheduling theory have given designers of control systems greater flexibility over their choice of timing requirements. This could lead to systems becoming more respon...
