A key trend in (electronic) commerce is a demand for higher levels of expressiveness in the mechanisms that mediate interactions. We develop a theory that ties the expressiveness ...
As the scale and scope of distributed and multi-agent systems grow, it becomes increasingly important to design and manage the participants' interactions. The potential for b...
In this paper we propose a novel approach to decentralised coordination, that is able to efficiently compute solutions with a guaranteed approximation ratio. Our approach is base...
