We study protocols to enable one user (the principal) to make potentially profitable but risky interactions with another user (the agent), in the absence of direct trust between ...
Existing approaches to knowledge representation and reasoning in the context of open systems either deal with "objective" knowledge or with beliefs. In contrast, there ha...
Open distributed multi-agent systems are gaining interest in the academic community and in industry. In such open settings, agents are often coordinated using standardized agent c...
Distributed motion planning of multiple agents raises fundamental and novel problems in control theory and robotics. In particular, in applications such as coverage by mobile senso...
