DPOP is an algorithm for distributed constraint optimization which has, as main drawback, the exponential size of some of its messages. Recently, some algorithms for distributed c...
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...
Through adjustable autonomy (AA), an agent can dynamically vary the degree to which it acts autonomously, allowing it to exploit human abilities to improve its performance, but wi...
For successful coordination and cooperation in a multiagent system, participants need to establish a sufficiently accurate awareness of the current situation. Awareness is underst...
1 Robust behavior in complex, dynamic environments mandates that intelligent agents autonomously monitor their own run-time behavior, detect and diagnose failures, and attempt reco...
