—Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all ag...
The efficient simulation of multi-agent systems presents particular challenges which are not addressed by current parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) models and techniques. ...

This paper presents a microeconomics-based equilibratory approach to a distributed resource allocation problem in a multi-agent system. In a multi-agent system, each agent has its ...
Increasing teamwork between agents typically increases the performance of a multi-agent system, at the cost of increased communication and higher computational complexity. This wo...
