In relation to its growth in size and user population, the Internet faces new challenges that have triggered the proposals of value-added network services, e.g., IP multicast, IP ...
Plan recognition is the problem of inferring the goals and plans of an agent after observing its behavior. Recently, it has been shown that this problem can be solved efficiently,...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) has emerged as a useful technique for multiagent coordination. While previous DCOP work focuses on optimizing a single team objective, i...
Evolutionary models typically rely on a single level of evolution for training a team of cooperating agents. I present a model that evolves at two levels—an “organizational”...
Negotiation techniques have been demonstrated to be effective in solving complex multi-objective problems. When the optimization process operates on continuous variables, it can b...
