Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) provides a rich framework for modeling multi-agent coordination problems. Existing problem domains for DCOP focus on small (<100 vari...
This paper provides a general mechanism and a solid theoretical basis for performing planning within Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents. BDI agent systems have emerged as one of...
Several agent-oriented software engineering methodologies address the emerging challenges posed by the increasing need of adaptive software. A common denominator of such methodolo...
