Abstract. As the scale and scope of multi-agent systems grow, it becomes increasingly important to design and manage the manner in which the participants interact. The potential fo...
System performance in multi-agent resource allocation systems can often improve if individual agents reduce their activity. Agents in such systems need a way to modulate their ind...

This paper presents a domain-independent architecture for facilitating visual problem solving between robots or softbots and humans. The architecture denes virtual and human agen...
Loosely coupled multi-agent systems are perceived as easier to plan for because they require less coordination between agent sub-plans. In this paper we set out to formalize this ...
— Consider a coverage problem for a team of agents in the plane: target points appear sporadically over time in a bounded environment and must be visited by one of the agents. It...
