Taming Decentralized POMDPs: Towards Efficient Policy Computation for Multiagent Settings
The problem of deriving joint policies for a group of agents that maximize some joint reward function can be modeled as a decentralized partially observable Markov decision proces...

Applying metaheuristic techniques to search the space of bidding strategies in combinatorial auctions
Many non-cooperative settings that could potentially be studied using game theory are characterized by having very large strategy spaces and payoffs that are costly to compute. Be...

Towards Cooperative Negotiation for Decentralized Resource Allocation in Autonomic Computing Systems
Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and...

An approach to online optimization of heuristic coordination algorithms
Due to computational intractability, large scale coordination algorithms are necessarily heuristic and hence require tuning for particular environments. In domains where character...

Secure Games with Polynomial Expressions
Abstract. We present the first private information retrieval (PIR) scheme which is both, deterministically correct and has poly-logarithmic communication complexity. Our PIR proto...
