Representing agent policies compactly is essential for improving the scalability of multi-agent planning algorithms. In this paper, we focus on developing a pruning technique that...
Temporal dependence within the workload of any computing or networking system has been widely recognized as a significant factor affecting performance. More specifically, burstin...

Abstract. In all user-centred agent-based applications, for instance in the context of ambient computing, the user agent is often faced to a difficult trade-off between the protect...
In order to obtain semantic interoperability in open MultiAgent Systems, agents need to agree on the basis of different ontologies. In this paper we formally define mapping as cor...
