In this paper, we argue that allowing self-interested agents to activate social institutions during run-time can improve the robustness (i.e., stability, cooperation or fairness) ...
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...
In open systems where the components, i.e. the agents and the resources, may be unknown at design time, or in dynamic and self-organizing systems evolving with time, there is a ne...
Abstract. Current trends in software development show a move towards supporting autonomous components (agents). The accurate timing of interactions between such components is growi...
This paper proposes a subjective map representation that enables a robot in a multiagent system to make decisions in a dynamic, hostile environment. A typical situation can be fou...
