The intent of peer data management systems (PDMS) is to share as much data as possible. However, in many applications leveraging sensitive data, users demand adequate mechanisms to...
Many problems of multiagent planning under uncertainty require distributed reasoning with continuous resources and resource limits. Decentralized Markov Decision Problems (Dec-MDP...
Decentralized control of a cooperative multi-agent system is the problem faced by multiple decision-makers that share a common set of objectives. The decision-makers may be robots...
In this paper, we present an Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA)-based decentralized allocation enforcement system, developed with an emphasis on a consistent data model and ea...
