We introduce the Multiagent Agreement Problem (MAP) to represent a class of multiagent scheduling problems. MAP is based on the Distributed Constraint Reasoning (DCR) paradigm and...
This paper discusses a novel distributed adaptive algorithm and representation used to construct populations of adaptive Web agents. These InfoSpiders browse networked information ...
Many real-world applications of multiagent systems require independently designed (heterogeneous) and operated (autonomous) agents to interoperate. We consider agents who offer bu...

One of the main challenges in Grid computing is efficient allocation of resources (CPU-hours, network bandwidth, etc.) to the tasks submitted by users. Due to the lack of centrali...
— Distributed computing systems are increasingly being created as self-organizing collections of many autonomous (human or software) agents cooperating as peers. Peer-to-peer coo...
