In this paper, we discuss two major tradeoffs, spatial and temporal tradeoffs, that appear when applying marketbased computing to multimedia network applications. The former appea...
Distributing scarce resources among agents in a way that maximizes the social welfare of the group is a computationally hard problem when the value of a resource bundle is not lin...
Coalition formation has become a key topic in multiagent research. In this paper, we propose a preliminary classification for the coalition formation problem based on three drivin...
System performance in multi-agent resource allocation systems can often improve if individual agents reduce their activity. Agents in such systems need a way to modulate their ind...

Optimal resource scheduling in multiagent systems is a computationally challenging task, particularly when the values of resources are not additive. We consider the combinatorial ...
