Agents are an emerging technology that grants programmers a new way to exploit distributed resources. Roles are a powerful concept that can be used to model agent interactions, all...
Abstract. We adopt the Markov chain framework to model bilateral negotiations among agents in dynamic environments and use Bayesian learning to enable them to learn an optimal stra...
Difficult real-time AI problems require a means for expressing multi-dimensional and dynamic goal criteria and a principled model for satisficing to best meet the criteria. In the...
Enabling and managing coordination activities between autonomous, possibly mobile, computing entities in dynamic computing scenarios challenges traditional approaches to distribut...
Abstract. The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is intended to describe systems, but it is not clear what systems satisfy a given collection of UML diagrams. Stephen Mellor has desc...
