Despite the acceptance of FIPA-ACL as a standard for agent communications, there exist a gap between its specification and infrastructures to support interactions among agents. The...
Multi-agent planning in stochastic environments can be framed formally as a decentralized Markov decision problem. Many real-life distributed problems that arise in manufacturing,...
