This paper presents an infrastructure for developing problem-based pervasive learning environments. Building such environments necessitates having many autonomous components deali...
The most important and interesting of the computing challenges we are facing are those that involve the problems and opportunities afforded by massive decentralization and disinte...
Certain observable features (tags), shared by a group of similar agents, can be used to signal intentions and can be effectively used to infer unobservable properties. Such infere...
Distributing scarce resources among agents in a way that maximizes the social welfare of the group is a computationally hard problem when the value of a resource bundle is not lin...
Many important problems in multiagent systems can be seen as resource allocation problems. For such problems, the well-known Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism is efficient, in...
