This paper presents an argumentation based framework to support the decision making of an agent within a modular architecture for agents. The proposed argumentation framework is d...
It is widely accepted in Distributed Artificial Intelligence that a crucial property of artificial agents is their autonomy. Whereas agent autonomy enables features of agent-base...
We propose a method for constructing Dempster-Shafer belief functions modeling the trust of a given agent (the evaluator) in another (the target) by combining statistical informat...
In application areas like personal information agents user modelstypically maintain sophisticated representations of personal interest profiles. Theserepresentations can be utiliz...
Online mechanism design considers the problem of sequential decision making in a multi-agent system with self-interested agents. The agent population is dynamic and each agent has...
