The problem of task assignment naturally arises in multiagent multitask systems, where an optimal matching of agents and tasks is sought. This problem is a combinatorial optimizati...
The general goal of the paper is to show the normative/deontic nature of conventions. Conventions are traditionally defined as regularity of behavior based on expectations evolved...
Abstract. This paper describes the application of a decentralised coordination algorithm, called Collaborative Reinforcement Learning (CRL), to two different distributed system pr...

Researchers in the field of multiagent sequential decision making have commonly used the terms “weakly-coupled” and “loosely-coupled” to qualitatively classify problems i...
