This paper proposes a method for the stabilization of vehicle formations in the plane under a fixed, but not necessarily complete, sensing graph. In this method each agent acts to ...
Abstract. We present a new method for proving lower bounds in evolutionary computation based on fitness-level arguments and an additional condition on transition probabilities bet...
This paper presents an argumentation-based approach to deliberation, the process by which two or more agents reach a consensus on a course of action. The kind of deliberation we a...
Distributed allocation mechanisms rely on the agents' autonomous (and supposedly rational) behaviour: states evolve as a result of agents contracting deals and exchanging res...
A distributed task T is 1-solvable if there exists a protocol that solves it in the presence of (at most) one crash failure. A precise characterization of the 1-solvable tasks was...
