A significant body of work in multiagent systems over more than two decades has focused on multi-agent coordination (1). Many challenges in multi-agent coordination can be modeled ...
Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in AI and multi-agent systems (MAS). Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) involves partitioning a set of agents into coa...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is a promising approach to coordination, scheduling and task allocation in multi agent networks. In large-scale or low-bandwidth network...
