In cooperative multi-agent systems, roles are used as a design concept when creating large systems, they are known to facilitate specialization of agents, and they can help to redu...
In this paper we produce complexity and impossibility results and develop algorithms for a task allocation problem that needs to be solved by a group of autonomous agents working ...
Imagine a group of cooperating agents attempting to allocate tasks amongst themselves without knowledge of their own capabilities. Over time, they develop a belief of their own sk...
In the last few years the use of coalition formation algorithms in multi-agent systems has been proposed as a possible way of modelling autonomous agent cooperation. Game theory pr...
Through automated negotiation we aim to improve task allocation in a distributed sensor network. In particular, we look at a type of adaptive weather-sensing radar that permits th...
