Abstract. This is a position paper reporting the motivations, the starting point and the guidelines that characterise the MERCURIO5 project proposal, submitted to MIUR PRIN 20096 ....
We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm t...
In many multi-agent applications such as distributed sensor nets, a network of agents act collaboratively under uncertainty and local interactions. Networked Distributed POMDP (ND...
In this paper, we formulate agent's decision process under the framework of Markov decision processes, and in particular, the multi-agent extension to Markov decision process...
This paper introduces a model for Distributed Employee Timetabling Problems (DisETPs) and proposes a general architecture for solving DisETPs by using a Multi Agent System (MAS) pa...
