We introduce a new cryptographic primitive called the blind coupon mechanism (BCM). In effect, the BCM is an authenticated bit commitment scheme, which is AND-homomorphic. It has n...
Designing agents whose behavior challenges human players adequately is a key issue in computer games development. This work presents a novel technique, based on reinforcement lear...

One of the difficulties to adapt MDPs for the control of cooperative multi-agent systems, is the complexity issued from Decentralized MDPs. Moreover, existing approaches can not ...
In this paper, we present an online method for POMDPs, called RTBSS (Real-Time Belief Space Search), which is based on a look-ahead search to find the best action to execute at e...
This paper presents an agent strategy for complex bilateral negotiations over many issues with inter-dependent valuations. We use ideas inspired by graph theory and probabilistic ...
