Reactive real-time systems have to react to external events within time constraints: Triggered tasks must execute within deadlines. The goal of this article is to automate, based ...
Although well understood in the single-agent framework, the use of traditional reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms in multi-agent systems (MAS) is not always justified. The fe...
Computational Grids are large scale computing system composed of geographically distributed resources (computers, storage etc.) owned by self interested agents or organizations. T...
This paper describes recent results from the robotics community that develop a theory, similar in spirit to the theory of computation, for analyzing sensor-based agent systems. Th...
A frequently proposed solution to node misbehavior in mobile ad hoc networks is to use reputation systems. But in ephemeral networks - a new breed of mobile networks where contact...
