This paper develops a new combinatorial auction protocol called the Groves Mechanism with SubModular Approximation (GM-SMA). This protocol satisfies the following characteristics:...
The coalition formation process, in which a number of independent, autonomous agents come together to act as a collective, is an important form of interaction in multi-agent system...
We present and evaluate a method for estimating the relevance and calibrating the values of parameters of an evolutionary algorithm. The method provides an information theoretic m...
Abstract. In open and heterogeneous environments offered by the Internet, where agents are designed by different vendors, the development of standards for agent communication nee...
Temporal reasoning is widely used within both Computer Science and A.I. However, the underlying complexity of temporal proof in discrete temporal logics has led to the use of simp...
