Many important problems in multiagent systems can be seen as resource allocation problems. For such problems, the well-known Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism is efficient, in...
Designing a distributed fault tolerance algorithm requires careful analysis of both fault models and diagnosis strategies. A system will fail if there are too many active faults, ...
Our research goal is to design systems that enable humans to teach tedious, repetitive, simple tasks to a computer. We propose here a learner/problem solver architecture for such ...
As a case study that illustrates our view on coordination and component-based software engineering, we present the design and implementation of a parallel constraint solver. The pa...
In this paper, we study a service procurement problem with uncertainty as to whether service providers are capable of completing a given task within a specified deadline. This typ...
