In order for personal assistant agents in an ambient intelligence context to provide good recommendations, or pro-actively support humans in task allocation, a good model of what t...
We study auction-like algorithms for the distributed allocation of tasks to cooperating agents. To reduce the team cost of sequential single-item auction algorithms, we generalize...

Grid resource allocation is a complex task that is usually solved by systems relying on a centralized information system. In order to create a lightweight scheduling system, we inv...

System performance in multi-agent resource allocation systems can often improve if individual agents reduce their activity. Agents in such systems need a way to modulate their ind...

One of the main challenges in Grid computing is efficient allocation of resources (CPU-hours, network bandwidth, etc.) to the tasks submitted by users. Due to the lack of centrali...
