Constraint satisfaction has been applied with great success in closed-world scenarios, where all options and constraints are known from the beginning and fixed. With the internet,...
In the field of multiagent systems (MAS), the computational models of trust and reputation have attracted increasing interest since electronic and open environments became a reali...
Reactive systems perform their tasks through interaction with their users or with other systems (as parts of a bigger system). An essential requirement for modeling such systems is...
This paper describes recent results from the robotics community that develop a theory, similar in spirit to the theory of computation, for analyzing sensor-based agent systems. Th...
Coalition formation methods allow agents to join together and are thus necessary in cases where tasks can only be performed cooperatively by groups. This is the case in the Reques...
