Communication is the key feature of Multi-agent Systems. The interactions among components of a system may take many distinct forms of increasing complexity such as in auctions, n...
Computer visualization and networking have advanced dramatically over the last few years, partially driven by the exploding video game market. 3D hardware acceleration has reached...
A physically based system of interacting polyhedral objects is used to model self-assembly and spontaneous organization of complex structures. The surfaces of the polyhedra in the ...
As robots become more complex by incorporating dynamic stability or greater mechanical degrees of freedom, the difficulty of developing control algorithms directly on the robot in...
This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
